Today's episode on Redefining Medicine spotlights Robin Farmanfarmaian: entrepreneur, professional speaker, and author of Amazon bestseller "The Patient as CEO: How Technology Empowers the Healthcare Consumer." Originally misdiagnosed with autoimmune disease, by the age of 26 Farmanfarmaian had undergone 43 hospitalizations, 6 major surgeries, and had 3 organs removed. Through taking control of her own health and correctly self-diagnosing, Farmanfarmaian now seeks to empower other patients by sharing her journey, advice, and lessons learned—while delivering information surrounding the various available digital technologies. By investing in cutting-edge companies poised to impact 100 million people or more, Farmanfarmaian works on the most current medical technologies in an effort to better help patients.
