Ivana Schnur: The Healing Contract

Ivana Schnur, MD/PhD, is the co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of Sense.ly, an avatar-based clinical platform that helps physicians better monitor and manage chronically ill patients. Ivana brings a unique combination of clinical knowledge, product insight, and business development to power the transformation of clinical workflows in scalable, compassionate ways. Ivana shares her own incredible journey to medicine; from growing up in the Eastern bloc in Czechoslovakia, moving to the US to become a doctor, to recovering from a spinal cord injury that left her paralyzed, and understanding the potential of virtual reality in medicine. She offers a powerful vision for the future of palliative care, one informed by the sacred contract between patient and clinician.   Do you have any thoughts?
