    Whole Person Index with Dr. Katie Kaney

    In this episode of Ideal Health Solutions, Dr. Timothy Brown sits down with Dr. Katie Kaney healthcare innovator, telehealth pioneer, and author of Both/And: Medicine and Public Health Together. Dr. Kaney has spent her career challenging one of the biggest assumptions in healthcare: that health starts at the hospital. Her Whole Person Health model flips that narrative, arguing that real care begins in the home; where people live, behave, change, and make decisions every day. We'll explore how personal behaviors drive our health outcomes, how technology is transforming what's possible, and why the U.S. continues to spend the vast majority of healthcare dollars on clinical interventions instead of prevention. We also dig into her work with Vox TeleHealth, a platform that blends technology with personalized human coaching to change behavior at scale. And, of course, we'll discuss the political and economic forces influencing healthcare access today; from benefit reductions to mental health challenges, and what leaders can do to help people stay well at home.  Topics In This Episode: 00:00 Introduction & Why Purpose Matters in Healthcare 01:49 Meet Dr. Katie Kaney 02:10 Defining Whole Person Health 04:10 What's Driving Healthcare Cost 06:12 Technology and Behavior Change - What's New? 09:00 Wearables, self-tracking, Health nudges are they working? 15:09 The ROI of Whole Person Health in Today's Political Landscape 17:00 Engaging Key Stakeholders 21:30 What Healthcare Leaders Need To Know 23:22 Both/And: Public Health and Healthcare Together 24:16 Final Leadership Lessons & Key Takeaways  SUPPORT THE SHOW: Make sure to Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode.  👍 Like the video 💬 Comment your biggest takeaway 📤 Share this episode with a leader who needs to hear it.  HELPFUL LINKS: Connect and Follow us https://linktr.ee/Idealhealthsolutionspodcast Learn more about Dr. Katie Kaney at https://wholepersonindex.com
