Welcome to HealthTech Check Up! Hosts Rachelle Galant and Perry Dimas sit down to chat about one of healthcare’s most complex and long-debated topics: price transparency. From baby steps in shoppable services to the latest White House executive orders and the controversial rollout of a government-run drug pricing website, Rachel and Perry explore what’s driving this new wave of disruption in 2025.

They unpack how these shifts could impact patients, payers, and PBMs, and what it means for innovation in the pharmaceutical industry. Is the U.S. finally closing the gap on international pricing — or just introducing more chaos into an already tangled system?

Tune in for a candid, forward-looking discussion on where price transparency is headed, why it’s proving so difficult to achieve, and how technology might be the bridge to a more equitable and efficient future in healthcare.

💡 Highlights:

• Why price transparency still feels like an uphill battle
  
  
  
• The potential impact of a U.S. “direct-to-consumer” government drug platform
  
  
  
• How employers and PBMs may be forced to adapt
  
  
  
• The role of tech innovation in simplifying healthcare costs
  
  
  
• Can a little chaos lead to long-term progress?
  
  
  

🎧 Listen in as Rachel and Perry break down the complexities — and possibilities — behind healthcare’s newest transformation.

Welcome to HealthTech Check Up! Hosts Rachelle Galant and Perry Dimas sit down with Deven McGraw, Chief Regulatory and Privacy Officer of Citizen Health, to explore one of the most fundamental yet overlooked aspects of healthcare: patient access to health data.

Deven shares her journey from law and public health into the world of health tech, where she’s become a leading voice in privacy, compliance, and data governance. Together, they dive into why—despite federal laws like HIPAA—patients have only recently begun gaining real access to their own medical records, and how that shift is unlocking new possibilities for patient empowerment.

From tackling “portalitis” (managing multiple logins across health systems) to using AI to make sense of massive, fragmented records, Deven explains how Citizen Health is building tools that give patients more control, especially those with rare and complex conditions.

The conversation also covers the role of privacy, the promise of AI in patient-centered care, and why U.S. patients may actually have more rights to their data than many of their international peers.
