pCare and Quil, the joint venture between Comcast and Independence Health Group, have entered into a new partnership to bring an integrated multi-platform patient engagement ecosystem to provider organizations, built to guide patients and their caregivers in their care journeys.

Quil — the joint venture that was spun out from cable titan Comcast and Independence Health Group back in April 2018 — swiftly pivoted to focus on coronavirus monitoring when it launched a smart TV- and mobile device-based app, dubbed COVID-19 Preparedness Tool, which insurer Independence Blue Cross has made available to its members, according to FierceHealthcare.

Digital health company Quil Health wants to leverage smart devices and motion sensors in the home to help patients safely recovery after surgery and enable elderly seniors to stay in their homes.

In this episode of Beyond Barriers, Carina shares how she discovered her purpose, and what drives her to make a positive difference in people’s lives every day. Carina also provides guidance on navigating effectively through an unexpected crisis, and what it takes to lead with courage and conviction.

The evolving situation on the COVID-19 pandemic put a spotlight on another way we can help people. That’s why we created the COVID-19 Preparedness Tool.

Carina Edwards, CEO of Quil, believes her company can tackle the biggest challenges in healthcare today. The digital health group began as a joint venture between Comcast NBCUniversal and Independence Blue Cross, and Edwards describes it as ambitious from the start.

As Carina puts it, “I need people around me who will answer the question, ‘What would YOU do?’ Don’t ‘YES’ me! Do not ‘manage’ me! Lots of folks can answer what not to do. Monday morning quarterbacking is easy. What you need are people who have creative ideas about what to do.”
