engagement platform, Inspire. They discuss the origins and
inspiration behind Inspire, exploring how it fosters a sense of
community among its members, as well as the impact it aims to make
in the years to come. Today’s Guest  Brian Loew created
Inspire in 2005 with the goal of accelerating medical progress by
engaging patients and caregivers in safe, trusted online

the leading digital space for health, with more than 10 million
visitors annually who join Inspire to discuss more than 3,000

Non-profit partners including the American Lung Association, Mental
Health America, and the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance - who rely
on Inspire for safe, moderated spaces where their members can
receive trusted information and support.  Brian is a frequent
speaker and writer on the topics of patient-centricity, the role of
data in healthcare, health-focused social networks and digital
medicine. He sits on the boards of the Robert Packard Center for
