25 - Who Owns your Health Data & Avoiding Unneeded Care w/Janis Powers

This week, I am joined by Janis Powers, Founder of KnowThyself. We talk about Big Data in Healthcare and who owns your data. Whether providers should have unified health data about you. Advocating for yourself when interacting with the healthcare system. How to avoid unneeded care, and more.

Oh, and she fills me in on how the heck she went from architecture to healthcare strategist.
