• Providing Consumers With Better Mental Wellness Solutions
    Jul 12 2023

    The MDRG team explores mental health and its increasingly important role to consumers. Sondra Brown speaks with Chris Hemphill, Sr. Director, Commercial Intelligence at Woebot, as they dig into the role of empathy in providing consumers with better mental health solutions and experiences. 

      Outside the Echo Chamber explores mental health as a critical issue that affects millions and challenges the traditional healthcare system. 

      And of course, we hear from our consumers. This month, we asked consumers, "Where do you go for support during tough times?"

    • Eyes On the Future
      May 9 2023

      Consumers are looking for wellness solutions that are accessible and simple. They are ditching complex systems of treatment in favor of easy tools for prevention. What’s more, they expect these health tools to fits seamlessly into their day and are delighted when they exist outside of traditional healthcare facilities. So, imagine taking a preventive diagnostic test at a laundromat while waiting for your clothes to dry ... that reality is not too far away.
