Join Our Mission at Rarus Health SPA! During the last few months, our database of patients with #rarediseases has grown significantly. Our users are now spread across #Chile, #Argentina, #Mexico, #Colombia, and #Bolivia. The majority of them are caregivers (let's be plain – moms) of kids with rare genetic diseases, mainly neurological ones. Having experience working with patients from other parts of the world (mainly EU, Russia, CIS, and US), I see clear differences between them: 💡 Average Age: In Latin America, both patients and caregivers tend to be older. This is likely due to a longer diagnostic journey and limited availability of geneticists. 💡Digital Literacy: There is a significant gap here! Our app has a lengthy onboarding process (similar to digital banking) for safety reasons. We’ve noticed how challenging this is for our users in Latin America! People often get lost if they need to take more than two steps. I talked to a number of UX designers that work in LatAm and they confirmed these observations. 💡Asking Questions: Frankly, not asking questions 🙄 . Based on my previous experience, every patient with a rare disease seeks a second opinion, challenges the doctor, and asks complicated questions whenever they can get additional information. I’ve even had scientific discussions with some moms at rare diseases conferences, and it was not nonsense 😄 ! However, patients here definitely need more support to express their opinions, especially to doctors. At Rarus Health SPA , we focus on patients' needs, and this is our core value. That’s why it's time to find a #Productmanager with focus on #userresearch, who will help us understand our customers better, follow up with our wonderful users, and ensure our product delivers its full value. Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of patients with rare diseases? Do you have experience in user research and a knack for connecting with people? Native Spanish and understanding of LatAm cultural sets is a must. If so, we’d love to hear from you!   📢 Apply now or share this post with someone who might be the perfect fit. 🔔 Do you know someone like that?

Ever felt the ripple effect of a political decision made thousands of miles away? At Traumen & Medisynq, we navigate these waters regularly, ensuring that global shifts don't derail our mission to provide affordable healthcare. Global events, like sudden trade changes, can swiftly alter our course, impacting how we deliver medicines worldwide. Recently, new trade barriers unexpectedly limited our access to essential materials. This challenge threatened not just our operations but the timely delivery of affordable medicines. We quickly adapted by adjusting our production methods, ensuring that our patients continued to receive their medications without interruption. These experiences teach us the importance of being prepared and proactive. In pharma, anticipating global shifts and planning for them is crucial for keeping our commitment to global healthcare. Have you faced challenges at work due to global events? #GlobalPolitics #PharmaLeadership #SupplyChainResilience #HealthcareInnovation #BusinessAgility

This past week, I virtually attended the World #Brain_Health_Summit: https://lnkd.in/dx2-NEwj, an enlightening event that delved into various facets of brain and mental health. It's crucial to understand the distinction between #brain_health and #mental_health. While interconnected, they represent distinct aspects of #well_being. #Mental_health encompasses conditions that influence one's thinking, emotions, mood, and behavior. On the other hand, #brain_health pertains to the absence of disease or impairment, coupled with optimal cognitive, emotional, and social functioning. Consider these eye-opening statistics 📢 : According to the #WHO, 1 in 3 individuals grapple with neurological disorders, while 1 in 4 contend with mental health challenges. #Neurological conditions stand as leading causes of disability and rank as the second-largest contributors to global mortality rates. #BrainHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #PublicHealth #well_being #Neurology #emotions

‘If it’s like this, I don’t do it anymore’ (angry stomping) Practicing energy tools for ourselves can sometimes feel that it is failing us. Whether these are for protection, healing, balance, intention setting, realizing our goals etc. it applies to all A/ it is normal, we all go through it, ans some of us are more patient than others. It happened to me many times and that’s then the frustrated and angry Emilie reaction 👆😂 B/ it may not be true that it is failing us, we just don’t see the bigger picture yet. Jeffrey Allen is explaining this very nicely in the below 👇 and giving very helpful tips for when you are in such a situation. Worth watching for those of you that are practicing. Enjoy and keep going! 🌞 #energyhealing #energymanagement #energycoaching

There is no “one size fits all” approach when it comes to the aesthetic journey. We are all unique and the treatment plan should reflect that. I spoke with Marie Claire Italy about individuality, integrity and innovation and why we’re dedicated at Allergan Aesthetics to equipping patients and practitioners with valuable tools and insights that can enhance their aesthetics experience and lead to long-term relationships. Ultimately, our aim is to drive positive change and ensure patient care, satisfaction and outcomes are prioritized. https://lnkd.in/ev3jHH59

I am proud to share that I have recently completed MIT Sloan Artificial Intelligence in Pharma and Biotech online program. This course was provided by the prestigious MIT Sloan School of Management, and was coordinated by Regina Barzilay, professor of Electrical and Computer Sciences at MIT. AI/ML enters all parts of our lives at a steady pace, and I felt it was important as an executive within the life science area to gain a solid insight on were AI/ML stands, what are the risks and opportunities associated with the use and deployment of AI/ML in life sciences and how AI/ML will contribute to build strategies for innovation. Some key take away: ·        Access to data is key! This is THE key for all AI/ML powered innovation. All organisations are not equal to data access and not equally competent to manage the data they generate. As a foundation to any investment into a AI/ML strategy, fit-for-purpose data management is a must. ·        The need for partnership. Another aspect of AI/ML is that it brings several scientific domains to work together. E.g. In life sciences: biology, computer sciences and imaging cell-based assay need to be appropriately combined to take the best out of AI/ML empowered cellular response characterization. ·        AI/ML represents an unprecedented opportunity to speed up and reduce costs of new medicines development making small and, soon, large molecules treatment available and affordable to many. ·        How will regulators embark into this high speed journey? This remains an open question. Striking the right balance between the mandatory precautionary principles and the use of AI/ML in new treatments development is a challenge. Thank you to MIT Sloan for this incredible learning journey
