Home-Based Support Addressing Critical Needs of Cancer Patients with Dan Nardi Reimagine Care TRANSCRIPT

Empowered Patient Podcast

Dan Nardi, the CEO of Reimagine Care, is using a technology-enabled platform to support cancer patients and clinicians to extend care beyond the clinic and address the unique challenges of cancer treatments. The evolving landscape of cancer therapies and rise of oral and subcutaneous methods of delivering drug has increased the need for remote patient support and medication management. The use of AI and digital tools provide significant opportunities to help triage patient questions and reports of side effects to provide necessary, timely support from clinicians.

Dan explains, "At Reimagine Care, we focus on helping to support providers as they are providing care for patients going through cancer treatment. We built an on-demand cancer care platform that combines technology and an oncology-trained clinical care team. Then we partner with our providers, our oncologists around the country, to help them extend the really great care that they provide for patients in the clinic. We help them extend that and support those patients 98% of their time when they are outside of the clinic. And so that's what we've built, and we've been at this for a handful of years and are very excited about the continued progress."

"The uniqueness really stems from the fact that we call it cancer, but it's a combination of so many different types of that disease, and there's so much uniqueness in each one of the diagnoses and the treatment plan. It's not an easy one-size-fits-all model that some of healthcare has. Knee replacements and hip replacements are fairly straightforward and have been done somewhat the same for decades now. But when it comes to cancer, there's so many different factors that go into it, and as we've had such an increase in more of the personalized medicine and the oral oncolytics and the other treatment plans, it's become a lot for not only the patients, but also the providers and the care team to keep up. And so being able to use technology to help bridge that gap has been really impactful."
