Real Health Care Happens Between Doctor Visits w/ Wei-Li Shao, President, Omada Health

from Health Care Rounds · host Darwin Research Group

Between 80% and 90% of health outcomes are shaped by what happens between doctor visits. Yet the entire U.S. health care system, from payment models to primary care, is built around the visit itself.  Wei-Li Shao, President of Omada Health, joins host John Marchica to break down why persistent, in-between-visit care is the missing layer in chronic disease management, and how pairing GLP-1 therapy with the right behavioral support program could be one of the most powerful levers the health care system has yet to fully pull.  ===  🎙 ABOUT WEI-LI SHAO  Wei-Li Shao is President of Omada Health, a digital health company focused on patient-centered technology and medical-grade evidence for chronic condition management.
