Cracking the Code on GLP-1 Therapy, One Patient at a Time
Q: How can clinics and the pharmaceutical industry engage with Voafit's model?
Clinics can adopt level-based dosing with access to technology that automates real-time dosing calculations; Voafit is enrolling clinics in an IRB study to validate the model, and the approach is proposed as a potential standard of care for long-acting GLP-1 therapies.
Cracking the Code on GLP-1 Therapy, One Patient at a Time

Bending the Cost Curve in Pediatric Healthcare with George Boghos
Q: Where do you see Imagine Pediatrics fitting into the future of pediatric healthcare, and what would have to be true for that future to happen?
There is a bright future with a real, recognized need across stakeholders. The goal is to expand the model nationwide, maintain excellent outcomes (including a Net Promoter Score above 87), and continue to bend the cost curve while delivering high-quality, personalized care.
Bending the Cost Curve in Pediatric Healthcare with George Boghos
Q: What does the Imagine Pediatrics model look like in practice in terms of partnerships and the market readiness for risk-based, value-driven pediatric care?

Q: But what does it actually take to get a health plan to think differently about pediatric care, and what has surprised you about that process?
Health plans want solutions for an underserved population, and they're receptive when they see tools and an ecosystem that addresses their needs. They're especially motivated by the potential to align incentives, reduce total cost of care, and show real outcomes through a deeply engaged, longitudinal approach.
