?? Open banking is officially the law of the land! ?? With today’s historic rulemaking, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau guarantees consumers foundational rights to access and control their own financial data. This will make it easier for consumers to switch banks if they can get better service elsewhere, enable new convenient ways to pay for goods and services, and–importantly–provide consumers the ability to demonstrate their creditworthiness beyond traditional credit reports and scores (via cash flow underwriting platforms like Prism Data). I’m grateful for the many public servants, consumer advocates, academics, and industry stakeholders who have worked for years to reach this point and afford these new essential rights to consumers. On a personal level, I’m proud to have contributed to the rulemaking process formally as a small business representative on the SBREFA panel for this rule and as a member of the CFPB’s Consumer Advisory Board. So what’s next? Today’s rule starts a years-long transition to open banking, where new technical standards will be established, new policies and procedures will be put in place, and new products and capabilities will be developed based on consumer data access. Our team has spent nearly a decade advocating and preparing for this moment. Now that it’s here, we’re excited to help guide our partners into this new era.

I am grateful to share that Delfina is partnering with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico to provide our lifesaving care system to expecting families across the state. I lived in Socorro, New Mexico for a summer. I saw the healthcare needs of New Mexican families firsthand. Being back in this beautiful state this week, I am now seeing that the needs in maternal health are significant and urgent. We are excited to serve families in New Mexico, particularly from Native and other underserved communities with Delfina Care. Thank you Janice Torrez and the BCBSNM team for hosting us, and for this wonderful opportunity to impact maternal and infant health. We look forward to transforming maternal health in New Mexico together. https://lnkd.in/gyHRvV7Y

I am grateful to share today the launch of Delfina's partnership with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois to transform maternal and infant health! The collaboration will serve moms and families in Illinois with Delfina Care as part of the BCBSIL Special Beginnings? initiative. When I was in Chicago last week, what struck me most was the frustration I heard from OBGYNs, doulas, and midwives at having to "scramble to fix things" when it seemed already too late. Many of these folks had been serving IL moms and babies for decades. They were too often surprised by sudden cases of substance-related complications or preeclampsia that sometimes ended in tragic, preventable loss. With Delfina Care, we will finally empower these professionals and their patients with the data-driven clarity they deserve. We will give them foresight as we partner in addressing the root causes of the maternal health crisis. We are deeply grateful for this opportunity to bring lifesaving proactive pregnancy care to Illinois with BCBSIL and other partner organizations. Delfina will make a massive positive impact on maternal health across the state. We invite you to join us in our mission to deliver intelligent pregnancy care to all families. https://lnkd.in/gWZybNkQ

?? HOW DO WE GET DIGITAL HEALTH TO REFOCUS ON PREVENTATIVE CARE??? Enter Inbal Tirosh co-founder and CEO of the incredible Livez on this week's episode!! My favorite question to ask founders is what is your founding story? Tune in to hear Inbal explain her founding story, and how they are impacting patients lives and futures! Livez is built to make preventative care easy, convenient, and reduce claims. The Livez screening solution detect 85% of preventable diseases!! Reduces a whopping 75% of healthcare claims. How do they do this? Inbal jumps into it all with me, explaining, "All together if you take every person and they get a plan of what they need to get screened for, based on their individual profile, and their specific data, you can do that with fusion of big data, and you take them on a journey to prevent their predicted risks, based on family history and their own history and so on..." Then you automatically book them with follow up appointments. This is backed by health authorities, and by large insurers! Key Points ?? ?? Livez screening solution covers more than 50 clinical domains and 120 screenings and vaccines, impacting 75% of healthcare claims. Livez is a preventive health platform that focuses on holistic screening and interventions to prevent chronic diseases. ?? The platform helps employers and health plans prioritize the health of their population by identifying health risks and guiding individuals towards appropriate interventions. This is an absolutely fascinating conversation about the new frontier of preventative care.
