Joyce Nwatuobi is Creating Greater Accessibility in Kidney Care and Behavioral Health

In Health, Publisher Channel by Mary Kurek

Joyce Nwatuobi is the CEO of ThriveHealth, based in Wisconsin, in the United States. Her mission is to improve patient care by creating a quality suite of telehealth products focused on specialty fields. Those fields would be kidney care and behavioral health. Both of these specialty fields are not easily accessible in community emergency rooms, prisons, and small clinics, where keeping a specialized physician/psychologist on staff is a reasonable budget item. Joyce is resolving that issue and making the connection to her telehealth platform easy for anyone, including allowing hospitals that already have a platform they use to acquire access to her service. This is where we realize that patient-centered care can actually happen in a digital world.

Joyce talks with Frontrunners Innovate Producer, Mary Kurek, about her work here in the US and her goal of moving ThriveHealth global to begin in her home continent, Africa.
