Regina from Providence chimed in on our website, “I hear your show end with the magic wand question each episode. Where did that question come from? Short answer The "Magic Wand" question originated from the discovery process of a project called "enable us," an idea for a digital therapeutic service to support life after stroke co-hosts MIke and David had when they first met. The question is: "If we could give you a magic wand, how would you reimagine or improve the current stroke care pathway?". On Episode 78 Magic Wand Insights: Transforming Stroke Care David dives into the origin story deeper and provides his own answer to the question!
