Welcome to the Empowered Patient Podcast with Karen Jagoda. This show is a window into the latest innovations in applying generative AI, novel therapeutics and vaccines, and the changing dynamics in the medical and healthcare environment. One focus is on how providers, pharmaceutical companies, and payers are empowering patients. In addition, conversations are often about how providers, care facilities, pharmaceutical companies, and payers are being empowered by technology to improve patient outcomes and reduce friction across the healthcare landscape.

Future of Proactive AI-Powered Healthcare Driven by Connected Devices with Kent Dicks Life365 TRANSCRIPT
Download PDFFeb 6, 2025
Kent Dicks, CEO of Life365, has extensive experience in the remote patient monitoring industry and is focused on developing wireless and cost-effective RPM technologies to connect patients to their healthcare providers and improve patient engagement and care. The mission is to support the shift from reactive to proactive care by using RPM data fed into AI and machine learning systems to identify trends and the need for early intervention. Working with partners and large enterprise clients, Life365 is connecting patients in rural areas with RPM technology. In an arrangement with the US Department of Veterans Affairs, the company is part of a remote patient monitoring initiative to identify biomarkers and early warning signs so patients can stay compliant with their therapy plan.
Kent explains, "I've been in the industry for about 18 years now and dealing with remote patient monitoring. We've been fortunate to have built the vision when there wasn't reimbursement and when remote patient monitoring had been started by previous companies that were using wired technology. Our strategy was to use wireless and cost-effective technology to try to get into see patients or to connect with patients who were especially in hard-to-reach places like rural locations, trying to connect them to their doctors."
"So Life365 is about making sure that we can help support the new models of care that are emerging, that are out there, value-based care, the ability to connect people in rural locations. The ability to get data cost-effectively from patients used to mean feeding the data directly into their HER. It's now really important to be able to feed the data into artificial intelligence and machine learning systems that are going to be used a lot to be able to monitor patients and see trends occurring. This is way before a patient decides that they need to go to the emergency room and be admitted to the hospital."
