MAPS 2026

In healthcare, better decisions don’t come from better data alone—they come from shared understanding.

At MAPS 2026, Novellia CEO and Co-Founder Shashi Shankar will be co-presenting a 90-minute interactive workshop that explores how tethered education—a model that aligns clinician and patient learning—can drive stronger engagement, better communication, and ultimately, better outcomes.

Beyond the Stethoscope: The Intersection of Patient and Clinician Education
March 22–25, 2026
Denver, CO | MAPS 2026 Annual Meeting

Why Tethered Education, and Why Now?

Healthcare has never been more complex—or more fragmented. Patients and clinicians alike are navigating evolving therapies, shifting guidelines, and growing volumes of data. But what often gets overlooked is the disconnect in how each side learns.

That’s where tethered education comes in.

This workshop will unpack real-world strategies for delivering synchronized, stakeholder-aware education—linking what clinicians know and what patients understand, in order to close knowledge gaps and strengthen shared decision-making across the care continuum.

What You’ll Learn:

• The foundational principles behind tethered education models
• Case studies showing how clinician and patient education can be aligned in practice
• Common implementation barriers—plus strategies to overcome them, drawn from real-world experience
• The role of digital health education in improving access, personalization, and engagement

Participants will engage in interactive peer discussions, walk through real-world scenarios, and leave with practical, immediately applicable strategies.

Why This Matters

At Novellia, we’ve seen firsthand how critical it is to meet patients and clinicians where they are—with data, with tools, and with the right context. Our work building AI-powered, patient-permissioned health data platforms has taught us that data clarity means nothing without shared understanding.

Whether it’s real-world evidence, adverse event education, or treatment planning, aligning the information available to all parties is what turns insight into action.

This workshop reflects our broader belief: that when you empower both sides of the care equation, you don’t just inform decisions—you transform them.
