WHAT IS THE patient tank®?
The Patient Shark Tank® was created to amplify the voice of the patient and care partner in the design, development and continuous improvement of healthcare innovation, whether it's technology, research, clinical trials, education, policy, strategy, etc. Although there are expert patients and care partners who are part of our community, the majority haven't intersected with anyone outside of their healthcare team. We also include the voice of the clinician in our efforts to co-design the future of healthcare.
DIVERSITY
|
~68% of the voices that represent the Patient Shark Tank® are from underrepresented groups. These are the patients and care partners that are "seldomly heard". Many aren't on online communities and social media or at conferences sharing their health stories publicly. Many don't realize they have a voice or role to play in reshaping healthcare, which is why we've been laser-focused on ensuring that they're part of the conversation.
Their voices matter. |
ANONYMITY
|
Many people living with an illness struggle with what to share, with whom, and for what purpose. They may fear the consequences of disclosure or stigmatization. They may just want to maintain their privacy and that's OK. That doesn't mean they don't want to be part of co-designing the future of healthcare, which is why we've created safe spaces for patients and their care partners to contribute to the conversation without ever sharing any personal identifiable information or even leaving their home.
Their voices matter. |
The bottom line: RAW, DIVERSE and unfiltered perspectives are often overlooked in healthcare.
