Dr. Juliessa Pavon, MD: The Power of Objective Patient Mobility Data

Today we speak with Dr, Juliessa Pavon, MD.

Dr. Pavon is a researcher and associate professor at Duke University and is associated with the Durham V. A. for geriatrics. During our conversation, we get into the importance of mobility measurement, and some of Dr. Pavon’s research revolves around using accelerometer data to measure mobility in the hospital. And one of the key takeaways from our conversation really talks about objective data and the best way to use objective data in order to improve clinical practice. Just like many things in life, it is often hard to improve on something until you measure it. And that's something that Dr. Pavon’s research has really highlighted.
