Episode 46 – Show notes:

[0:47] Introducing Ms. Malvina Ibrahim, RD, MHSc, Patient Education Specialist at ��ݮ����, where she designs interactive digital care plans for patients;

[1:22] How Digital Patient Engagement platforms can effectively guide patients throughout their entire surgical journey on any smart technology device;

[4:09] How a robotic bronchoscopy procedure allows for more control and stability than in a regular bronchoscopy, as the biopsy of the lung is obtained through the use of a robotic arm. It is able to go through smaller airways with a more direct visualization of where they’re going and how they’re getting there, also allowing for enhanced safety;

[6:12] Why patients are concerned with knowing biopsy results immediately before going into robotic bronchoscopy, similar to patients that undergo regular bronchoscopy;

[8:07] Why digital care plans for robotic bronchoscopy are more focussed on providing pre-op instruction for patients, as there is a low complication rate post-discharge and no wound after-care, yet how the technology is also useful for post-op expectations (e.g. what symptoms are normal after discharge, when they can expect to receive biopsy results, education on how to reduce their anxiety, etc.);

[14:58] How digital patient engagement can transfer robotic bronchoscopy patients into a thoracic surgery care plan if necessary, resulting in a seamless experience for patients;

[16:28] How feedback from robotic bronchoscopy patients thus far has generally been positive, and has been described as a very comprehensive yet reassuring program;

[21:44] Why Ms. Ibrahim loves working at ��ݮ���� for its open and collaborative environment, innovation, an increased sharing of ideas, and a willingness to try new things;

[24:53] Fast Five / Lightning Round Questions - Josh and Alan:

Q1: What is the best age?

A1(A): “Gut answer would be very young (5 years old), where you wouldn’t have to deal with a lot of problems. When I was younger I always wanted to be older, and I was looking forward to having more autonomy. But at the same time I was also a lot more carefree when I was younger. I enjoyed my early 20s the most, since everything was still so new, brand new things to experience, but I also had a bit of that autonomy as well.”

A1(J): “I’m in my 30s right now, and for me I think I’ve enjoyed my 30s the most. I don’t have to worry as much about the crazy deadlines I had back in school. I also love my work life - being part of a team that’s working towards something; compared to being in school, where you mostly work individually as a student.”

Q2: Would you rather: Speak every language in the world VS Talk to animals

A2(A): “I believe we already can do that to an extent, through non verbal communication, body language, and things like that. Now that I think about it though, since humans are animals, wouldn’t being able to talk to animals mean that I can also talk to all humans? Did I just find a loophole? But with my original train of thought, I’d choose to be able to speak all the languages; there’s a lot more humans to converse with, you can share different ideas and learn differently, and pick up different cultures.”

A2(J): “I like animals but I’m not an animal person, so I’d pick the languages thing. I wouldn’t need to watch foreign films in dub, and travel becomes a lot easier.”

Q3: What’s your favourite carb? Bread, pasta, rice, or potatoes? What would be your favourite carb to combine things with?

A3(A): “There are a lot of ways to use rice…pasta’s great…bread is fantastic. I could go for a thick sourdough bread, but it would need either butter on it or made into a sandwich. I’m choosing bread.”

A3(J): “They’re all so good…I’ll probably go with bread too actually. I don’t eat a lot of bread. You can make really good bread that’s just bread, compared to pasta that needs to be combined with something.”
