Learn how rural Missourians are benefiting from improved access to primary and specialty care through tech-enabled innovation and new care models. Our speakers are leading the way in forming the new model of rural health care through digital health technologies that bring the care to the patient, on the patient’s terms and enable their care providers to remotely monitor and manage their patients. With innovation as the enabler, the barriers to personalized, patient-centric care that are unique to our rural communities are being lowered.
Nathan Landsbaum President & CEO of Home State Health (Centene’s Missouri Plan) and Dr. Marcus Zachary, Global Lead of Value Based Care Babylon Health describe their risk-based partnership to deliver access to primary and comprehensive care to patients in 10 counties in Southeast Missouri. Babylon serves as the Primary Care Physician via its mobile application-based telehealth platform. Home State Health members assigned to Babylon have access to their PCP through their smartphone any time, day or night.
Next, Dr. Jerry Dwyer, a cardiologist and Coala’s Clinical Board Advisor, introduces Coala Life and how it is transforming cardiac care by enabling vulnerable patients and their connected providers monitor and manage their cardiac health at any time from anywhere. The remote, real-time cardiac monitoring is being used pre and post-procedure and shows a decrease in symptoms of palpitations, anxiety, depression, and improved quality of life. Dr. Dwyer is joined by Liane Parker, RN, CPHM, who will provide perspective on how this patient-empowered innovation for underserved communities enables real time and longitudinal management that improves outcomes for hard to reach patients and alleviates worries for patients and their care-givers. Joining the discussion is a patient using the Coala device and sharing their experience with the device and program.

Background on GlobalSTL and the “Future of Healthcare” webinar series: GlobalSTL, an initiative of BioSTL, recruits top global health care innovation to our region. In addition to running an annual GlobalSTL Health Innovation Summit, GlobalSTL convenes our region’s healthcare organizations to collaborate on innovation sourcing and healthcare transformation as a single community we call G-CHIL (GlobalSTL Community of Health Innovation Leaders). The community is comprised of ~40-50 innovation/transformational, operational leaders and researchers across 18 health care organizations whose combined revenues are over $360 Billion; ~ 9% of US health care spending.
For this webinar series, GlobalSTL is inviting regional and national speakers who were on the frontlines of healthcare during Covid and speakers who are building the post-Covid health care system. This segment aims to be a discussion with a broad cross-section of leaders from incumbent health care players, innovators (business model, tech, financing and policy), government/policy, foundations, etc. The purpose is to move our region forward, by improving the health of our citizens and the public health and health care systems that care of our citizens, by learning from leaders who are shaping the post-Covid health care system (public health, clinical care, SDoH).
