Inside the New Asynchronous Pediatrics

Parents want fast, credible answers about their children’s health, and asynchronous care is opening a new path to get there. In this episode, Omkar Kulkarni speaks with two leaders shaping how families access pediatric care. Ellen Da Silva, Founder and CEO of Summer Health, explains how message based pediatric support can deliver answers from real physicians within minutes. She shares how parents use text, photos, and videos to get both urgent and everyday questions addressed without needing live appointments. Then, designer and digital health leader Arna Ionescu Stoll describes how Wavely Dx is turning the smartphone into a diagnostic tool, starting with ear infection detection through sound analysis and expanding to concussion screening. Together, they explore how asynchronous care can reduce unnecessary visits, improve access, and give parents confidence in moments of uncertainty.Connect with Ellen Da Silva:Summer Health WebsiteSummer Health LinkedInSummer Health InstagramEllen DaSilva InstagramEllen DaSilva LinkedInConnect with Arna Ionescu Stoll:Wavely Diagnostics WebsiteWavely Diagnostics LinkedInWavely Diagnostics InstagramArna Ionescu LinkedInConnect with us:KidsX WebsiteKidsX LinkedInChildren's Hospital L.A.
