The Patient was Always the Answer: with Fasten Health

The future of healthcare isn’t just provider-to-provider interoperability, it’s patient empowerment.

On this episode of Kno2fy, Therasa Bell and Jason Kulatunga, Founder of Fasten Health, explore why healthcare still struggles with fragmented data exchange, how patients are often forced to become the “middleware” in their own care journeys, and what happens when technology finally puts control back where it belongs.

From TEFCA and Individual Access Services to AI-powered healthcare experiences, this conversation looks at what’s next for a future where patients have true agency over their health data.
