Episode Notes

A patient engaged in their own care enjoys better outcomes. But when someone is first diagnosed with cancer, they’re in shock and simply can’t process the information provided by their provider team. And once they’re ready to explore their treatment options, ‘Dr. Google’ overwhelms them with irrelevant and often inaccurate information.

Maya Said is the Founder and CEO of Outcomes4Me, an app designed to empower cancer patients with personalized treatment options, helping them take back control of their care. Outcomes4Me’s AI-powered platform harnesses regulatory-grade, real-world data to generate deeper insights that improve health outcomes. An engineer and scientist by training, Maya spent 15 years in the pharmaceutical industry before building Outcomes4Me in 2017.
