Vancouver, BC, August 7, 2020 – As part of its “No Patient Alone” mission, Canadian digital health company Curatio has officially launched a podcast covering a range of topical health and wellness matters, featuring renowned experts from around the globe.
The Curatio Connects podcast will host doctors, registered clinical counselors, yoga instructors, kinesiologists, psychotherapists and more, all covering issues that affect both the general and patient population. Listeners can hear experts address a range of timely and relevant topics such as how to better manage anxiety, maintain heart health, deal with grief, and take on the challenges of becoming a full-time caregiver during the pandemic.
“COVID-19 has resulted in the publication of thousands of advice pieces each day, which can be overwhelming for those looking for expert-sourced content”, states Curatio CEO Lynda Brown-Ganzert. “It’s our hope that the Curatio Connects podcast will provide both comfort and act as a source for reliable, validated expert content for those who are still very much experiencing the effects of the pandemic”.
While the first episodes (listed below) are specifically related to the COVID-19 pandemic, listeners can expect the Curatio Connects podcast to relevant health and wellness topics specifically curated for the general and patient population as the schedule heads into fall and 2021.
Curatio Connects is available within the Curatio app (available on iOS and Android). Listeners can also subscribe at Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Stitcher, and Spotify.
