Countdown to HiMSS14: Meet Conversa Health

On a special edition of This Week in Health Innovation at 10AM Pacific/1PM Eastern on Thursday, February 20, 2014, our special guests include 2 principals of the start up Conversa Health.

Joining us today are West Shell III Founder & CEO and Anna-Lisa Silvestre, CMO.

West is a creative, high-energy entrepreneur, strategic marketer, conceptual problem solver, committed dad, environmentalist and avid outdoorsman. He has raised 4 successful companies and 4 inspired children over a 28 year C-level career.

Anna-Lisa brings a high level of passion to any conversation about how people can participate in their health care. She's a gutsy, persistent leader who asks “what will it take” to make big ideas a reality. Happily married to a primary care physician, she keeps striving to do as many pushups as years in healthcare (passing 30 this year).

According to a recent PR:

'Conversa's platform allows physicians to find out how patients are doing between office visits through automated digital checkups. Patients are asked simple but precise questions such as "Are you experiencing any of the following symptoms since your last visit?" or "Are you still taking your blood pressure medication as prescribed?'

'Founded in 2013 by a team of technologists and healthcare professionals who are passionate about transforming the health care conversation through personalized patient engagement services, Conversa is privately held and based in San Francisco. The company is focused on automating digital conversations between physicians and their patients.'
