Welcome to another episode of Patients Win, the podcast dedicated to making healthcare work for the people it serves - the patients. Today, we dive into the intersection of healthcare and technology with David Comiskey of HealthMe. With a unique background that spans national security, the pet care industry, and now healthcare innovation, David Comiskey brings a fresh perspective on how transparency and direct care models can rebuild trust and transform the patient experience.

Join Troy Reichert and Dr. Jonathan Bushman as they explore how legacy technology has disrupted the doctor-patient relationship, why pricing transparency is key to restoring trust, and how HealthMe’s platform is simplifying access, costs, and quality for both patients and providers. Hear real-life stories of patients saving thousands and getting the care they need faster, and discover why mission-driven innovation from outside traditional healthcare might just be what patients need to win.
