Salvo Health CEO on GI care and tech

I recently shared some thoughts with Sinéad McCarthy on the evolving role of General Practice and Lifestyle Medicine in Ireland — watch here: https://lnkd.in/eZ2rHjM4 As GPs, we’re at the heart of preventive and holistic care. Every consultation is an opportunity — not just to treat illness, but to inspire healthy change. Lifestyle Medicine isn’t an “extra” — it’s the foundation of long-term wellbeing. By empowering patients to take charge of their diet, movement, sleep, and stress, we can transform outcomes and reduce the chronic disease burden in our communities. The future of healthcare in Ireland lies in bridging medicine and lifestyle — one patient, one conversation at a time. 💚 #GeneralPractice #LifestyleMedicine #PrimaryCare #HealthPromotion #Ireland

The results in the first six months speak for themselves: • 900+ new patients entered the system • 87% required a GI workup • 20-minute median wait time WovenX plugs into existing systems, integrating directly with their EMR. No pulling patients out of line, just faster access, smarter routing, and coordinated care that stays in-system. Read today's release: https://lnkd.in/gf9z6vfY

𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗜𝗱𝗹𝗲 The average wait time for a GI consult in the U.S. can exceed four months. Meanwhile, procedure rooms sit unused and patients sit in pain. The problem isn’t just about capacity. It’s about how care is routed, who gets to start the process, and how long patients are left waiting for someone to act. It’s time to stop asking patients to wait, and start asking why the system still does. Read more from our WovenX Health Co-Founder and CEO Sheri Rudberg. Link: https://lnkd.in/gcN3-DDr

Global Health Ltd Investor Podcast (GLH) In a candid conversation with Global Health Managing Director Mathew Cherian, we explored how a connected SaaS stack—MasterCare+ for clinicians, Lifecard for consumers, HotHealth as the digital front door, and ReferralNet for secure messaging—is turning fragmented care journeys into coordinated ones. With chronic conditions like mental health, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and AOD requiring team-based workflows from hospital to home, smarter systems that do more with less are essential. Mathew shared the company’s shift from legacy desktop to modern SaaS and AI—a three-year lift that’s delivered a 6% subscription revenue increase and a return to positive operating margins. From AI scribes that cut admin time to triage avatars and smarter clinical documentation, this is practical innovation with real impact. #DigitalHealth #HealthcareInnovation #SaaS #GLH #ASXBriefs https://lnkd.in/dwYCJUsV

CoDES faculty Dr. Steven Smith was recently funded $705,383 by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute to analyze the effectiveness of ongoing natural experiments in telehealth.   This study uses a mixed-methods analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of telehealth and home blood pressure monitoring in managing uncontrolled blood pressure, particularly amid disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The study aims to assess utilization patterns, estimate causal effects on blood pressure control, and identify clinics with successful practices, with a focus on addressing disparities, particularly among non-Hispanic Black patients. Findings will be shared with stakeholders to promote effective and equitable healthcare practices.
