Inspired Health

Inspired Health craft research programs to answer questions in some of the most challenging therapeutic areas. Although virtual approaches have largely become industry standard, we utilize in-person approaches when we feel it essential for uncovering the right insights. Sometimes sitting across from someone and having a conversation just feels like the best way to go. Our own Chris Jackson shares a personal story about how one particular in-person fieldwork day changed his life, and his approach to designing research studies, forever.

Pancreatic cancer often reveals itself through vague symptoms which can be easily confused for other abdominal or gastrointestinal issues. Unfortunately, common symptoms such as indigestion, nausea, vomiting, bloating, or swelling in the abdomen could be far more sinister than you think. A common theme we see in our research is that of caregivers struggling to convince their loved ones (especially older patients who are often dismissive of their symptoms) to see a doctor when they start to feel unwell. November is Pancreatic Cancer awareness month, and no better time to remind ourselves of how to stay diligent about our own health and to pay attention to the health of our loved ones.

This year, more than 310,000 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer, including an estimated 2,800 men. If caught early, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%, which is why having a basic understanding of breast health is critical. With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, now is the perfect time to remind ourselves how to prioritize our breast health, support a loved one in their breast health journey, or feel prepared when faced with a difficult discussion or diagnosis.

October is Liver Awareness Month! Our work in this space has shown us how far we've come, and yet how far we need to go. Fortunately, advances in metabolic health are on the rise, both in diagnostic tools helping to identify these conditions early, as well as treatments helping to prevent permanent damage. Additionally, the FDA recently approved a new drug to treat more advanced cases that have progressed to Metabolic Steatohepatitis (MASH). It’s amazing to be a part of these advances through the work we do at Inspired Health.

October is Mental Health Awareness month, and today is World Mental Health Day. Incidentally, the theme set by the World Federation of Mental Health for 2024 is?workplace mental health, highlighting the importance of addressing mental health and wellbeing in the workplace. Inspired Health does a great deal of work in mental health, and with each project, our sympathy and empathy grow for those struggling with their wellbeing. For organizations like ours, working in emotionally challenging areas, often with individuals struggling with life or death issues, the weight of the work can be heavy. It's important to check in with each other, take breaks when possible and above all else, talk to someone if you feel the need. Here are a few tips on supporting someone with their mental health at work as prepared by the Mental Health Foundation: https://lnkd.in/e6Ek_wbe #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthatWork

'If you’ve spent any amount of time in health research, you know how impactful caregivers are to the patient experience. When I found myself on the ground floor for a change, called to duty with little warning and equipped only with a desire to support my mom, I got to thinking about what it means to be a caregiver, and the complexities of becoming one.' In our latest article, Chris Jackson shares his recent experience of caregiving. Applying a dash of social theory, he unpacks his conflicting feelings, and how he managed his own self-doubt in the moment. #caregiver #identitytheory #statuscharacteristicstheory #identitycontroltheory #marketresearch #inspiredhealth
