In this episode of the Nurse Rosa's INsights Podcast, Rosa Hart, RN sits down with David Dansereau — physical therapist, stroke survivor, digital health innovator, and co-founder of the Know Stroke Podcast — for a candid conversation about what the healthcare system is getting wrong and what it takes to fix it from the inside out. What you'll learn in this episode: Why upstream investment in health education outperforms downstream treatment spending How stroke survivors and nonprofit support groups are doing the heavy lifting the system won't fund Where technology, storytelling, and community intersect to actually change patient outcomes What "patients as partners in research" really looks like — and why it matters for stroke recovery Why physical therapists risk being left behind in the digital health revolution (and how to catch up) Featured guest: David Dansereau, MSPT, CAPS — Founder of SmartMovesPT, co-host of the Know Stroke Podcast, national AHA stroke spokesperson, and patient stakeholder for PCORI, Mass General Hospital, and the Stroke and Young Adult Consortium (SAYA).
