Dr. Naomi Fisher - Brigham and Women's Hospital

On this episode of Health Explorers, Dr. Jay Shah and Michael Kisch speak with Dr. Naomi Fisher,  the Founder and Director of The Brigham and Women’s Hospital Remote Hypertension Service which is internationally recognized as a center of excellence.  Dr. Fisher has been engaged in almost three decades of clinical research at Harvard University, focusing on cardiovascular endocrinology with specific interests in renal denervation and cuffless blood pressure measurement.   She is a graduate of Princeton University, received her medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania, followed by a fellowship at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. 

In this episode we challenge the common belief that innovation only comes from the outside, disrupting the status quo and forcing incumbents to change.   Dr. Fisher’s career is a great example of how innovation can, and often does originate from within.   Informed by a deep understanding of patient needs and the business of healthcare. In addition to her clinical role we discuss her approach to partnering with start-ups focused on advancing the diagnosis and treatment of patients suffering from chronic disease.
