Personal Observations from the Founder: As a patient myself and seeing the repercussions of trying to navigate the complex health care system, I am sadden to see that "the system" is not fully aligned to the best interests of the patient. The majority of individuals engage health care during a crisis situation or upon facing an acute life changing event. Often becoming "a passenger" in the delivery system...praying and hoping that their needs are listened to or having to become their own expert advocate in care. Patient need a trusted capability to help navigate the complexity with their medical interest at hand and reduce the barriers and complexity. This is why I created Guardiant Health. After a career engaging the various stakeholder across the U.S. and abroad, I am an convinced that our solution is what is needed today. Join us in our mission to Make Health + Care, Better for Everyone!

Theresa Stanley expands on Guardiant Health and the work she performs there in the second part of her conversation.

Q: What is unique about Guardiant Health’s offering?
A: What sets us apart is the breadth and frequency of data we collect on patients, not just from a clinical viewpoint, but also from a mental health and social standpoint. In addition we know that patient engagement matters and this is directly linked to a patients level of satisfaction with us, thier primary care provider and health plan coverage. We capture patient experience data through a range of surveys and weekly interactions to evaluate how they are feeling, their activity level, nutritional intake, mental awareness and social interactions to identify risk such as loneliness or depression.

Q: What has been your most rewarding moment thus far working at Guardiant Health?
A: I love seeing patients succeed, and I have a fantastic tale to tell you about it. We have a patient with whom we have spent countless hours, and the staff will visit patients in their homes when they require support. My staff visits that patient's house frequently, so she was familiar with her, and then the other person had just spoken with her over the phone and hadn't seen her. When they arrived to her house, she was overjoyed to see them, and I was expecting to see a weak person, but when she opened the door, she had the greatest smile on her face and was dressed up and wearing make-up. It was one of the most satisfying things to witness the difference we had made in someone's life, and that's what I like doing the most.

Q: What do you see in the future of the company?
A: I see us growing and bringing our models to other areas around the country. We've already begun talking to providers in other states, and our aim is to bring our concept to as many providers and consumers as possible, and I intend to be a part of that process at all times.

Theresa Stanley is the chief nursing officer at Guardiant Health. She began working there in May 2020 and has been instrumental in the company's success. She is one of the most kind and fascinating individuals I've met, and I appreciate her taking the time to sit down and answer my questions.

Q: What interested you in joining this company?
A: The idea of bringing healthcare into the home sparked my attention. I am convinced that our elderly population requires far more aid and support than they receive in typical office settings with physicians, where they must physically go into an office and arrange for transportation. I've always wanted to be part of a virtual medical practice that focuses on our elderly population that suffer from chronic illnesses.

Q: What are the most valuable aspects of Guardiant to healthcare primary care providers?
A:I feel we bring value to the provider since we are always available to the patient whenever they may need us 24 hours a day 7 days a week. We're not limited by office or employee schedules, and we have the flexibility to spend as much time with patients as they require. We also gather a diverse set of patient data over time, capturing a patient’s longitudinal health information and experiences while they go about their daily activities in their own home, or wherever they may go. We partner with primary care doctors and specialist by capturing and integrating a broad set of social determinant, medical, mental health, nutrition and living environment data which can trigger alerts and proactive care interventions, while keeping their physician informed and involved as needed.

Q: Can you tell me about your clinical operations team? What is unique about how they work together?
A: We have a fantastic staff with a plethora of expertise and understanding. Care coordinators and monitoring specialists are part of this team, and they assist with onboarding and ensure our patients are comfortable with technology. We have a number of clinicians that evaluate medications and make sure that patients are taking the correct amount at the correct time. We have nurse practitioners on staff who can write prescriptions, adjust doses, and provide consultations. Our whole staff meets at least once a week to go through all of the patients currently in our care to ensure there were no problems.
