Episode #194 Patients Taking Positive Action in Healthcare with Susannah Fox, Author, Rebel Health: A Field Guide to the Patient-Led Revolution in Medical Care
Susannah Fox is a highly accomplished health strategist and technologist. . Her book, Rebel Health: A Field Guide to the Patient-Led Revolution in Medical Care, was recently published by MIT Press. She is a former Chief Technology Officer for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, where she led an open data and innovation lab. She has served as the entrepreneur-in-residence at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and she directed the health portfolio at the Pew Research Center’s Internet Project.
As someone who firmly believes that we all have to become rebels when it comes to our own health and healthcare, I was excited to talk with Susannah about her new book. In this episode, we discuss how real rebels are creators, not just passive consumers.
Susannah feels strongly, and I agree, that the revolution we need in healthcare should be one where patients and caregivers take an active role in research, treatment, and innovation. She brilliantly identifies four key archetypes that can help guide this patient-led change. These roles remind us that we can all be actors in bettering our own experience of healthcare and the experiences of those we love. As Susannah so aptly says, “Don’t bury your light.”
Susannah’s message is one of hope, empowerment, and positive action.. I encourage you to listen and proudly take on the role of rebel in your healthcare.
