Oral Health & Technology-Based Health Management

On this week's program, hosts Andrew Dietz and Doug Field welcome special guests from DentaQuest and Johnson & Johnson Health and Wellness Solutions to the program to talk oral health, dental insurance, digital health, workplace wellness and more.

The first guest this week will be Tequila Terry, Regional Vice President, DentaQuest, the second largest dental benefits administrator in the United States. Even with increased access to medical insurance coverage thanks to the ACA, 83 million Americans face barriers to dental care. And over 50 million Americans live in areas with insufficient dental care. In this segment, Tequila will share DentaQuest's commitment and plans to reduce oral health disparities. Oral health is a key component of overall health, and dental disease is almost completely preventable.

For the second segment, the hosts will talk with Rich Bedrosian, Ph.D., Director, Behavioral Health, and Bobbi Coluni, Head of Strategic Product Management, Johnson & Johnson Health and Wellness Solutions. Technology-based health management is not a trend, but rather, a critical tool in the efforts to improve population health. In this segment, Bobbi, Rich and the hosts will discuss how to define success when engaging consumers through connected health, some best practices in the connected health market and much more.
