James Maskell

I am a passionate advocate for the accelerating medical evolution towards a more effective chronic disease management system. Our vision for American medicine is 100,000 "functional micropractices" to replace the failing primary care network. Since I was a child I have been under the care of holistic medical providers. I studied health economics in the UK and traded on the world's biggest trading floor for a year before I decided to follow my interest in healthcare, moving to America in July 2005. Since then I have have the pleasure of working with some great mentors and help build some excellent businesses in this emerging niche field, from medical spas to professionally-delivered supplements. Since 2009, I have been focused on building an engine capable of significant change, while gaining experience in digital marketing, sales management, business coaching and communication skills. Our "engine" works to empower both patients and practitioners to play their respective and important parts in a truly evolved medical system. It includes: kNew Health: Combines a comprehensive patient data portal, an army of digital health coaches and a nationwide network of Functional Medicine doctors to deliver better outcomes at lower costs to medical payers. Functional Forum: The World's Largest Integrative Medicine Community. This monthly forum is the flagship show for the Evolution of Medicine, and is broadcast live to web to more than 35k medical professionals and 200+ meetup groups worldwide. Evolution of Medicine: We create content (summits, podcasts and more) featuring the innovators and agitators leading the charge towards a more effective chronic disease management system. We also connect doctors to innovative technologies to help them build successful "Functional Micropractices"
