Invent Health with Dr. Archana Dubey and Bambi Francisco Roizen; Episode 3

The Invent Health weekly podcast with Dr. Archana Dubey and Bambi Francisco Roizen is the only weekly podcast that breaks down the latest digital health news of the week and what it means for patients, providers and payers (or who's paying). Plus a deep dive on a particular topic to help listeners understand how innovation is changing the healthcare paradigm.

This week they discuss: The boom in decentralized clinical trials. DCT allows people to be in their homes for clinical trials. Medable raises $78 million in mid-April, following more than $100 million raised in two rounds in 2020. Medable is one of emerging companies trying to streamline the clinical trial process. They touch on why clinical trials in the home are possible and the positive aspects and downsides. The deep dive this week is "Happy hormones" and the effect of these hormones: dopamine, endorphins, oxytocin, serotonin on our bodies and what actions (sleep, prayer, gratitude, exercise, diet) releases these hormones naturally. For instance, make a list! This gives a person a feeling of accomplishment and releases dopamine!
