Humanizing Healthcare: A Model For Consumer-Based Care
Two staff members wheel Amwell telemedicine carts into the entrance of the University of California ... [+] GADO VIA GETTY IMAGES Picture a healthcare system where the human approach takes precedence. One where physicians constantly act in the best interest of the consumer and empower their clients to take charge of their own health needs. Where merging electronic health records update coexisting providers daily and one where we combine the beauty of healthcare and social services to create an ongoing network of support. Dr. Summer Knight, paramedic-turned-physician executive and Deloitte Managing Director, explains this improved and compassionate model in her new book Humanizing Healthcare. Here, she insists there is a clear guide to how we can improve the healthcare system to positively impact all parties involved.

Read moreWalmart Is Rapidly Expanding Its Presence In Healthcare
Retail giant Walmart is a force to reckon with, based not only on its expansive market reach, but also given its commitment to innovation in the consumer services space. Walmart’s recent ventures in healthcare is one such example of innovation, as the company is attempting to become a staple in the multibillion dollar healthcare services industry. In 2019, Walmart unveiled its first health center, offering a variety of “services including primary care, labs, X-ray and EKG, counseling, dental, optical, hearing, community health (nutritional services, fitness) and health insurance education and enrollment all in one facility, conveniently located outside the store with a separate entrance for customers. The clinic will provide low, transparent pricing for key health services for local families, regardless of insurance status.” Since then, the company has continued to expand the service across multiple locations, with the goal of “partnering with several on-the-ground health providers to be a first-of-its-kind health center to deliver primary and urgent care, labs, x-ray and diagnostics, counseling, dental, optical and hearing services all in one facility.”

Read moreWill Molina Healthcare Stock Rebound After An 8% Fall In A Week?
The stock price of Molina Healthcare, a managed care company best known for its health insurance through Medicaid and Medicare, reached its all-time high of $279 earlier this month, before a recent sell-off in health insurance stocks, led to an 11% fall in MOH stock to levels of around $248 currently. MOH stock is down 8% over the last five trading sessions. While the company raised its full-year guidance for revenue and earnings, there are concerns of rising Covid-19 related costs. The company benefited from lower medical costs in 2020, primarily due to fewer elective surgeries, but that trend has now reversed. With rising vaccination rates, there is a rise in the volume of elective surgeries, primarily due to a backlog that was created last year. This means health insurance companies will need to shell out more money to pay those bills. Molina’s MOH +2% medical costs as a percentage of premium income has risen to 88% in Q2 2021, compared to 82% in the prior year quarter, and it is likely to remain high in the near term. Now, after an 8% fall in a week, will MOH stock continue its downward trajectory over the coming weeks, or is a recovery in the stock imminent? According to the Trefis Machine Learning Engine, which identifies trends in the company’s stock price using ten years of historical data, returns for MOH stock average 8% in the next one-month (twenty-one trading days) period after experiencing an 8% drop over the previous week (five trading days). Also, the issue of high medical costs appears to be transient, and the company has raised its full-year outlook. As such, we believe that the MOH stock will likely rebound in the near term. But how would these numbers change if you are interested in holding MOH stock for a shorter or a longer time period? You can test the answer and many other combinations on the Trefis Machine Learning Engine to test Molina Healthcare stock chances of a rise after a fall. You can test the chance of recovery over different time intervals of a quarter, month, or even just 1 day!

Read moreHow Ultrahuman Is Moving From Sports Science To Global Healthcare
Ultrahuman founders Mohit Kumar and Vatsal Singhal started out with a project that aimed to help athletes train more smartly; today, their business is rapidly transitioning into a healthcare company on the frontline of the battle against a global metabolic health crisis. Ultrahuman, which is today unveiling a $17.5m funding round led by Alpha Wave Incubation, is a metabolic fitness platform, offering users a convenient way to monitor their glucose levels in real time – and, crucially, to live more healthily. Kumar and Singhal are best known as co-founders of food ordering app Runnr, which was eventually acquired by Zomato. Following that acquisition, Kumar took some time out to indulge his love of MMA, training at the Tiger Muay Thai martial arts camp. “I was amazed at how many athletes were using data to an unprecedented extent in their training,” Kumar recalls. “It was also obvious to me that they were finding it complicated and stressful to do that, taking measurements, building their own spreadsheets and doing their own analysis.” That experience inspired Kumar and Singhal’s next venture. Ultrahuman aims to automate and augment the use of data in health and fitness. Users wear a patch that continually measures their glucose levels and automatically transmits the data to the Ultrahuman platform. Kumar and Singh have built a metabolic health index so that each user constantly gets a score, based on their data. This allows them to monitor the effects of food, drink and exercise on their glucose levels and to adjust their lifestyles accordingly.
