What is the etiquette for pushing out a serious update about the real actual work I do when I’m not making fun of things? I work for a med device company: iRxReminder. It is serious. We work on automating medication compliance, for example, and identifying serious adverse effects. Today will be a link to that press release.
Thanks for pardoning the break from the rollicking good fun; for a corporate update from iRxReminder, LLC. We proudly announce that we are enrolling patients in our NIMH-funded research study. Here is our winning submission to APA’s innovation zone.
The one personal note I will add is that the reason I work as the Chief Medical Officer of that company is at least twofold:
1. I believe in the mission! It’s a company with a real product, which is awesome.
Most crucially, and I can’t emphasize this enough, I love my teammates. Anthony Sterns, Ph.D., is a gracious, brilliant, and, most importantly, hilarious human. He is just a delight to work with. I enjoy every second of it. The rest of the team is decent and brilliant. But it’s fun to do the work together. If you try to improve health care, my advice, such as it’s worth, is to work with people you enjoy spending time with. Most companies trying to do remarkable things fail. I could have zero dollars and zero success, and it would still be worth it because it was joyful.
