Speaking
Book Dr. Patel for Keynotes, Panels, and Workshops That Bring Clarity to the Front of the Room
I speak about how healthcare costs, system design, and unmet everyday needs shape the experiences of people living with chronic illness—and what we can do about it. Whether I’m speaking to healthcare professionals, researchers, advocates, or policy audiences, my talks are grounded in research and focused on real-world change.
Core Speaking Topics
Inspiring Change Through Expertise and Action
How Everyday Life Shapes Health
What gets in the way of managing a chronic condition is not always medical. I talk about how transportation, food, housing, and financial stress affect health—and how systems can better support the people they serve.
Reducing Financial Burden in Healthcare
I share evidence-based strategies for making care more affordable and navigable, and highlight what health systems and providers can do to reduce financial barriers in everyday care delivery.
From Research to Impact
I share how large-scale studies can inform practical tools, workflows, and policies—and how to design research that doesn’t just describe problems, but solves them.
Behavioral Science That Works
I break down how behavioral insights can help patients stick with treatment plans, access resources, and stay engaged in their care—especially when life is complicated
