Join Lirio’s Chief Evangelist Patrick Hunt and his guest–Dan Boston, President & CEO of Health Policy Source–as they look ahead to the legislative and regulatory environment for consumerism in healthcare in 2023. One of Washington Life’s “Power 100” of the most influential people in our nation’s capital and focused exclusively on healthcare, Dan has a uniquely informed perspective on public policy trends impacting the industry. This discussion will cover data privacy, big tech, artificial intelligence, and other topics that directly impact how healthcare organizations–providers, payers, large employers, and digital health companies alike–can engage with consumers… and how they may not. In the increasingly complex world of healthcare delivery, meeting consumers where they are is paramount; understanding the rules and regulations for doing so is essential. Join us for this lively discussion, and questions from our audience.
Questions and comments from our audience are highly encouraged! See you soon.

Managing diabetes and the related co-morbidities requires consistent physician care to monitor key factors like A1C and ensure proper medications are available to the patient. One of the largest health systems in the US partnered with Lirio to co-develop a Precision Nudging™ solution utilizing hyper-personalized patient communications for people with diabetes.
Behavioral interventions targeting vaccine adoption, which we designed for a Louisiana health system, have implications for any behavioral intervention aimed at improving and sustaining health behaviors. I recently had the opportunity to share the lessons we learned at a meeting of the Virginia chapter of HIMSS.
