Recorded on 04/19/24In this episode we’ll be talking about what’s next for digital health, which started emerging in the mid-2010s as a way to provide new ways to access care using a digital first approach, disrupting the traditional care model that was episodic in nature to move toward a care model that was more continuous. A lot has changed over the years, and digital health has become a key part of healthcare delivery and for many a standard part of their health benefits. But the digital health industry finds itself at a crossroads post-pandemic, particularly among investors, with many once high-flying companies struggling.So what’s next for digital health? To explore this, we’re joined by Sean Duffy, Co-Founder and CEO of Omada Health. Sean was our first guest when we formally started this podcast back in 2020. Sean is one of the early pioneers of digital health and a thought leader, not only in managing chronic conditions, but also in how digital tools can be used to engage and guide patients in their care journey. https://go.td.com/PodcastDisclosure Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Recorded on 03/28/24Specialty drugs, which are typically composed of large molecules that need to be injected or infused, as a category, represent roughly 50% of pharma spending today and continues to increase. And unlike more traditional medications that people pick up at their local pharmacy, specialty pharmacies emerged along the way to dispense these medications, which often come with special handling requirements, as well as clinical support. With the majority of biopharma R&D being focused in specialty categories, the importance of specialty pharmacies is expected to increase. In this episode we explore the specialty pharmacy industry and the role it fills in the healthcare system today and in the future. To help discuss this topic, we’re joined by Dr. Surya Singh, CEO of InformedDNA. Dr. Singh brings over 20 years of experience within the health care supply chain. Before joining InformedDNA as CEO, Dr. Singh was the Chief Medical Officer for CVS Specialty and an attending physician at Brigham and Women’s hospital. Dr. Singh is also President of Singh Health Advisors and a Senior Advisor at ICER. https://go.td.com/PodcastDisclosure Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Recorded on 02/06/24 In this episode, we take a look at the changing landscape for pharmacy reimbursement and the push towards a cost-plus model of reimbursement. Over the last few decades, growth in pharmaceutical utilization and an increasing mix of specialty drugs has helped drive strong performance for many participants in the pharmaceutical supply chain. As the largest channel for prescriptions, retail pharmacies have been an important part of helping drive growth in the industry. However, pharmacies, having faced years of margin pressure, have not seen the same degree of benefit as others in the supply chain. For many years, pharmacies have dealt with lack of transparency in how drugs are priced, as well as uncertainty about whether reimbursement will adequately cover the cost of drugs and time associated with patient care. For more than a decade, with increasing levels of generic substitution, retail pharmacies have been able to manage their margins by cross subsidizing potential losses they would see on brand drugs with the profits they would gain on generics. But, with generics now making up more than 90% of prescriptions, the benefit from generic conversions and the ability to cross-subsidize has been maxed out and the pharmacy reimbursement model is clearly in need of change. To help us discuss this topic, we're joined by Michael Rothrock, who brings more than 20 years of experience within Managed Care as well as the PBM industry. Before starting Allegheny Strategic Partners, Mr. Rothrock was the VP of Pharma Strategy and Contracting at Express Scripts, where he was responsible for leading Commercial and Medicare formulary contracting and strategy.

Recorded on 12/08/23 In this episode, we take a look at the pharmacy benefit management, or PBM, industry which has been instrumental in managing down the cost of prescription drugs and plays a vital role in holding back the rising cost of healthcare. Yet the industry is not without controversy, often criticized for lack of transparency and misaligned incentives, particularly around rebates. But it’s also an industry that has continued to evolve as the healthcare landscape has changed. More recently, we’ve seen new entrants enter the market using technology to disrupt the status quo, and in this episode we explore how we’ve gotten to where we are, who’s to blame, and how we solve the biggest issue: making drugs more affordable for the consumer. To discuss this topic, we’re joined by Mark Thierer, Co-Founder and CEO of Waltz Health, and Jeff Park, President of Waltz Health. Mark and Jeff, both longtime PBM industry veterans, have helped transform the industry over the past 20+ years starting with SXC Health Solutions growing it into Catamaran, which became one of the major players in the PBM industry before being sold to UNH’s OptumRx in 2015 for $13B. They are now back with Waltz Health, a digital health company developing technology-enabled ways to bring down prescription drug costs.

Recorded on 10/13/23 The increase in spending for prescription drugs has been a major driver of annual increases in employer healthcare costs for many years. Over the last decade, the issue has been exacerbated by the growth of specialty drugs. Managing coverage and access is often beyond the scope of the average self-insured employer. With the introduction of new high-cost drugs, like GLP1s, the complexity of managing the pharmacy benefit is expected to increase. Given the evolving landscape, we want to provide a deeper look into how plan sponsors can navigate important decisions in coverage and access. To discuss this topic, we are joined by Vaughan Reele. Vaughan is a Certified Employee Benefit Specialist with 35 years of experience in the benefits industry. He is currently a Pharmacy Benefit Management Consultant at USI Insurance Services. Vaughan has provided strategic advice and support to plan sponsors on all aspects of employee benefit plans, and more recently he has focused on PBM risk management consulting.

Recorded on 09/28/23 TD Cowen analyst Yaron Werber speaks with Geoff von Maltzahn, general partner at Flagship Pioneering and founding CEO & current Director of Generate Biomedicines, about the AI revolution in biotech, and how generative biology has impacted both the drug development process and his approach towards designing and building companies. The ability of machines to recognize patterns at scale impossible for the human mind could help elucidate the common “rule book” underlying protein interactions, enabling the rapid generation of optimized protein therapies for any given target. More so, unlike human innovation (which tends to dissipate in larger organizations), AI models get wiser the more data flows into them, tapping into an “intelligence of scale” in which greater scale compounds discovery prowess. The key is building the right culture centered around machine learning, enabling data sciences to be the driver and not just aggregator of data, and having the right expertise at both data informatics, science, manufacturing, and technology to achieve scale, and validate and enhance the platform.

Recorded on 07/26/23 Over the last decade, data and analytics have become increasingly engrained in the healthcare system. Given the evolving landscape, we wanted to provide a deeper look into the different types of healthcare data currently available, as well as the users and use cases.

Recorded on 06/30/23 Over the last decade, contract research organizations (CROs) have become an increasingly important stakeholder in the clinical trial process. Over half of biopharma R&D budgets are outsourced to CROs, up from less than one-third ten years ago. With the high costs of drug development and importance of time to approval, CROs are relied upon for trial expertise, site networks, and abilities to accelerate KPIs such as study start up and recruitment timelines. Following a period of heightened biopharma funding during the pandemic that fueled demand for CRO services, we now enter a period of uncertainty as to where R&D budgets go from here and whether CROs can innovate their people-intensive processes to improve drug development costs and timelines going forward. To discuss these topics, we are joined by Rene Stephens. Rene leads Renatus Consulting, an independent advisory to CRO and life science clients. His experience spans the outsourced clinical trial procurement process, including procurement and contract negotiation during his time at Pfizer and Astellas, as well as business development during his time at inVentiv Health.
