Take Control of Your Health Data

Access to all of your health data - MRIs, screenings, and lab results - could be right at your fingertips. COVID-19 put healthcare tech companies into high gear to deliver health data to patients. The end result? Empowered patients, improved clinical trials, and greater control over healthcare decision making. 

Ardy Arianpour, CEO and co-founder of Seqster, explains how his platform is giving patients ownership and control of their data. Plus, how these technologies are helping clinical trials boost participation and diversity. 

Plus, a patient advocacy success story! Kate Pecora speaks with Kaitlin Kerr on her advocacy at the state level to fight for marriage equality for SSDI recipients.
