Nearly 1/3 of individuals with needle fear avoid care they need for mild medical conditions. And nearly 1/5 avoid care for severe medical conditions. Today we are launching a partnership with RabbleHealth, a leader in digital patient support solutions, to improve patient outcomes by modernizing the patient experience and addressing a core barrier to adherence - needle fear. Thimble's Prepare and Recover patches will be integrated into Rabble Health's patient programs, helping patients stay on track with their treatment and recovery goals. Together, we're striving to make adherence easier and more effective.

Magic happens when physicians drive the innovation in healthcare. Don't miss our founder and CEO, Manju Dawkins, MD, and Tamara Beckford MD, MS chatting about how innovation can transform patient care and why compassion in healthcare is so important. LIVE TODAY at 10:15am pst #stickwithcompassion
Helping women go from stressed and carrying extra weight to light, relaxed, and in control.
What if doctors led the next wave of healthcare innovation? Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Dr. Manju Dawkins, board-certified dermatologist and co-founder of Thimble Health—the first comprehensive solution for alleviating needle pain and stress. She’ll share why physicians should get involved in startups, how innovation can transform patient care, and why compassion is key to healthcare advancements. Dr. Dawkins earned her B.A. from Columbia University and her M.D. from the University of Maryland. She completed her dermatology residency and served as Chief Resident at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, NY. As an Assistant Professor at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, she was twice named Teacher of the Year. With experience in academic, private, hospital-based, and group practice settings in New York and Los Angeles, she brings a wealth of knowledge to the conversation. Fun fact: She is 5'2" (on a good day). Dr. Dawkins played Division I basketball at Columbia University and served as team captain her senior year. She is a founding and current member of the Columbia Women’s Basketball Advisory Board and a member of the Columbia Athletics Women’s Leadership Council.

"Is it normal...." A question we get asked a lot surrounding #vaccines. "Is it normal for my arm to hurt for days? Is it normal to have a lump on my arm at the injection site? Is it normal that I can't raise my arm? Is it the norm? In some cases. But it doesn't need to be. Lets change that. A simple patch with turmeric and arnica can change the game for the future of needle procedures. #stickwithcompassion #Recover

Child life specialists like Adina Levitan, MS, CCLS are true heroes of healthcare. "Children deserve coping tools to navigate difficult healthcare experiences." Period. Big thank you to Adina Levitan, MS, CCLS, Melissa Heckscher and Emy/Elena Occiano-Capio for sharing their perspectives about needle fear and Thimble in today's edition of the South Bay Daily Breeze.
Certified Child Life Specialist and Content Creator, Merging Caring and Creativity in Everything I Do.
To understand why I love Thimble is to understand why children deserve coping tools to navigate difficult healthcare experiences. https://lnkd.in/e-b5kU6d "If you ask child life specialist Adina Levitan, who works with families and children with chronic illnesses, Thimble patches are merely one tool in a larger arsenal of coping skills. “One of the most important things we can do is give children a sense of control,” said Levitan, who added that her own kids have used the patches to manage blood draws and vaccines. “By providing children with management options early on, we’re not just helping them get through a procedure; we’re giving them the confidence to take care of their health as they grow older.”"

"This is a game changer" "Oh man I really could have used this for my son's #vaccinations today" "This is so cool. Would love to share this with our patients" "I wish I had this for #IVF" "We're committed to reducing fear and pain with pokes at our hospital so this would make a lot of sense for us" "I need this right now" Just a small sampling of the incredible feedback we've received this week from patients, parents, caregivers, #healthcare providers, hospitals and so many more. We officially released the Prepare patch (years in the making) to our waitlist (same) and the community response has been so powerful. This affirms all the time spent in R&D, consumer testing, designing, optimizing and growing - its all worth it for this community. Our small team has been hand packing and shipping every order. And with every order sets the new standard of care that you deserve for injections, blood draws, IVs, etc. Inventory is limited. Make sure you've signed up for the waitlist or reach out to us at [email protected] to partner.
