Welcome to the Empowered Patient Podcast with Karen Jagoda. This show is a window into the latest innovations in applying generative AI, novel therapeutics and vaccines, and the changing dynamics in the medical and healthcare environment. One focus is on how providers, pharmaceutical companies, and payers are empowering patients. In addition, conversations are often about how providers, care facilities, pharmaceutical companies, and payers are being empowered by technology to improve patient outcomes and reduce friction across the healthcare landscape.

Brinda Rana PhD is participating in the analysis of data from the NASA Twins Study that focused on identical twins Scott and Mark Kelly. Scott recently become the first US astronaut to spend a year in space while Mark, also an astronaut, remained on earth. The study is beginning to shed light on the physical effects of extremely stressful space travel which seem to correlate to the aging process and the onset of certain diseases. In addition to learning about how the human body might respond to a long trip to Mars, scientists are also learning about how to identify molecular markers for better treatment and prevention of diseases on earth.
