Since the early 2000s, Dr. Danny Sands and his patient, Dave deBronkart have been working collaboratively on Dave’s care - breaking boundaries of the old standard of care and communication between doctor and patient.
Together they co-founded the Society for Participatory Medicine.
Dr. Sands is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at The Harvard Medical School, and practices primary care at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
Decades ago, he started emailing with his patients, and has since innovated many tools to help his patients get the best care - firm in his belief that working together benefits both patient and provider.
Dave deBronkart, also known as “e-patient Dave,” is an advocate for participatory medicine, and cancer survivor. Years before his own kidney cancer diagnosis, he wanted to be an engaged and informed participant in his medical care. He sought out a similar-minded doctor and that’s how he met like-minded ally, Dr. Danny Sands.
Check out their interview to hear their story, learn about Dave’s cancer journey, and how together he and Dr. Sands created the Society for Participatory Medicine.
