What if the same data that helps sell cereal could also save a life? Kathleen Ellmore asked that question long before most people thought to—and long before healthcare caught up. With roots in consumer marketing, she was using behavioral science to influence buying habits when the term “micro-segmentation” barely existed. But when she stepped into healthcare in the early 2000s, everything changed. As the mother of a daughter with cerebral palsy, Kathleen knew what it felt like to navigate a system that didn’t see her, didn’t remember her, and didn’t connect the dots. Kathleen’s daughter needs a wheelchair. She recalls all too well the months of time it took to get the right approvals for the appropriate wheelchair her daughter needed. Until something happened, a changed job, a new insurance plan, and then being told she would need to start the many month process ALL OVER again. It is hard to hear this story without feeling the agony of this mother for her child.   This proverbial straw led to this realization: data wasn’t the problem; disconnection was. That moment became the heartbeat of Kathleen’s work. She began applying the tools of influence not to sell more products, but to build trust. Her early experiments, like discovering that a male voice on a robocall led to an 86% increase in screenings among Hispanic populations, proved that small shifts, driven by empathy and insight, could drive massive impact. It wasn’t about big data; it was about meaningful data. Today, as cofounder of Engagys, Kathleen is leading a new era of engagement—layering AI on top of decades of behavioral science to ensure health plans don’t just reach people, but truly connect with them. For her, AI is not a shortcut; it’s a tool to scale human-centered care. And while others chase automation, she remains laser-focused on trust. You’ll also hear from Kathleen on: Why most health plans already have the data they need, but fail to use it meaningfully How behavioral science can transform call center scripts into trust-building tools What it really took to launch a profitable consultancy—no funding, no incubator, just mission and grit How Kathleen balances technical innovation with ethical guardrails in a system under pressure This conversation isn’t just about data. It’s about care, courage, and what happens when you decide to build something better because the system failed you.

Today on HITea With Grace, I was honored to sit down with the brilliant Anne Tumlinson—CEO of ATI Advisory and Founder of Daughterhood, a nonprofit community for family caregivers. Anne brings a unique blend of policy expertise, research insight, and personal passion to the conversation as we unpack the complexities of long-term care in America. From the broken financing system to where tech and innovation can (and can’t) help, Anne doesn’t hold back. She breaks down: Why solving the long-term care financing gap remains elusive—and why insurance has to be part of the solution. Where the private sector has stepped up (and stumbled), and how tech can support care delivery at home. What sustainable, public-private models might look like—from federal proposals to creative state-led solutions. How provider-led plans and special needs plans can better serve complex populations and caregivers alike. The evolving role of family caregivers in healthcare—and what policies like the GUIDE program are doing to help. We also explore Anne’s views on what it takes to change the system—from how providers think about care, to how we support caregivers with real tools, training, and respect. And of course, we wrap with a little tea talk! Anne shares the story behind her mug, what drives her, and advice she’d give to women leading in healthcare and health IT.

In this episode of Talking HealthTech, host Peter Birch speaks with Dr Jason Brown, Chief Digital Health Officer at Metro North Health; Dr Rae Donovan, Acting Chief Clinical Information Officer of eHealth Queensland; Dr Mia McLanders, Manager of Research and Innovation at Metro North Health; Fiona Armstrong, CEO at Liquid; and Kate Wylie, Director of Health at Liquid, exploring why healthcare technology so often misses the mark. The discussion dives into why projects fail to scale, how local needs can be balanced with system reform, the importance of genuine co-design, and why adoption, rather than rollout, decides whether healthtech delivers benefit for clinicians and patients.This episode was recorded at the Clinical Skills Development Service at Metro North Health in Brisbane, during a special Future Led panel event hosted by THT+ partners Liquid. The event brought together clinicians, designers and innovators to discuss collaboration, smarter procurement, and systemic reform in healthcare technology.Key TakeawaysTechnology in healthcare is frequently bolted on as an afterthought, often addressing symptoms rather than fundamental causes. This results in fragmented, clunky workflows for clinicians and patients.The healthcare system is highly interconnected, and solving one workflow in isolation may create issues elsewhere. Successful innovation requires a systems approach.Systemic reform needs proactive planning, investment in 'invisible plumbing' (like data standards and interoperability), and a shift away from short-term, patchwork funding.True co-design puts every stakeholder at the table from the beginning, not just for sign-off at the end. Sustainable change comes from interdisciplinary collaboration, not silos.Check out the episode and full show notes on the Talking HealthTech website.Loving the show?
