Dr. Naveen Goel, CEO and Founder at HealthKOS, an end to end solution connecting patients, healthcare professionals and families to improve the quality of care joins eHealth Radio and the Healthcare Channel.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Naveen Goel discuss the following:
How is HealthKOS disrupting the current norm in the healthcare industry?
What is HealthKOS and how is it different from other similar platforms?
How does this platform help with lowering the cost of healthcare?
Do you believe this change will work?
Who is the ideal candidate for HealthKOS and is it affordable?
How can listeners help their grandparents, parents or even their own patients get the quality care they deserve?
Dr. Naveen Goel is a physician and an innovator in the new field of “Patient Centric Health Solutions” with the specific goal of improving patient quality of care and reducing healthcare costs by effectively leveraging technology. To do this, he has co-founded his own company, World-Wide Health Initiatives, based in South Florida with over 40 employees. Dr. Goel is a Board-Certified Interventional Nephrologist with training and residency completed in New York City. In his outpatient vascular access practice, Dr. Goel oversees an advanced team that completes 3,000+ interventional procedures a year at the highest quality and patient satisfaction across South Florida. Dr. Goel’s work in nephrology is well-known within the community and has established himself as a thought leader in many domains of medicine and IT. From Dr. Goel’s experience treating ill patients, most with multiple chronic diseases, he realized a new health IT solution to change the current norm was needed. After several iterations, this led to the creation of HealthKOS™, an end-to-end solution to improve patient engagement, compliance, and outcomes. HealthKOS allows the healthcare team to monitor patient progress outside the practice office, leading to timely interventions, preventing disease progression and unnecessary hospitalizations. In addition to the development of HealthKOS, Dr. Goel works directly with governments of developing countries to launch new initiatives and approaches to provide high-level care to the underprivileged, rural areas within a country. These initiatives leverage useful technology from a physician’s perspective that are both impactful and cost-effective to improve the current norm with sustainability.
Dr. Goel’s is a charismatic leader whose experiences are not that of a typical physician – his experience and passions, range from treating patients to expanding the use and efficiency of digital health, to the simple understanding and application that connected care and patient engagement will make a difference for a patient’s health quality. He is an individual who wants to make a difference in his chosen field – Medicine.

What are other common conditions best treated by minimally invasive surgeries?
How do you incorporate eastern holistic healing into traditional western medicine?
Dr. Paramjit “Romi” Chopra, M.D. is an interventional radiologist with over 30 years’ experience in the field of interventional radiology and endovascular therapy. The standards for his daily work were set after completing his medical studies and training in Mumbai, India, followed by his fellowship and residency at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in the US. After working extensively in academia and research, Dr. Chopra became one of the youngest heads of an interventional radiology department in the US. Eager to share his experience, he placed great emphasis on training and introduced a wide range of education and research programs for students, colleagues, and residents. At the same time, however, he was committed to keeping the focus firmly on patient needs at all time.
Dr. Chopra opened the Midwest Institute for Minimally Invasive Therapies (MIMIT) in 2004. As an interventional radiology and endovascular therapy practice, MIMIT specializes in minimally invasive treatments for arterial disease such as peripheral artery disease (PAD), uterine fibroid disease (UFE), venous disease and musculoskeletal disease (spine interventions).
Lending his eastern roots and extensive western experience Dr. Chopra unifies the best of both worlds. His in-depth understanding of complex patient conditions is backed by state-of-the-art treatment therapies, enabling him to deliver exceptional patient care of the highest quality.
Dr. Chopra believes the path to long-term success lies in treating patients’ spirit, mind and body – not just their medical conditions.

Adam Balinsky, Founder and President of Fifth Season Financial, a financial services firm which offers solutions and products to help relieve the financial pressures faced by many patients struggling with advanced illnesses, including cancer joins eHealth Radio and the Health News Channel. Its FLAG (Funds for Living and Giving) program is designed to bridge the gap between the traditional financial assistance programs available to mitigate the direct medical and treatment costs, and the much broader financial needs of patients.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Adam Balinsky discuss the following:
What is financial toxicity and how does it impact your clients?
What’s the difference between your FLAG program and viatical settlements?
Why aren’t nonprofits and hospitals talking about this option when it comes to people who are dealing with late stage illnesses?
Is there a personal story behind FSF that you can share?
What’s the thing your most proud of when it comes to your business?
Adam Balinsky is the Founder and President of Fifth Season Financial. He passionately believes in the mission of the company—to help relieve the financial pressures faced by many patients struggling with advanced illnesses including cancer.
Adam recognizes that people facing advanced-stage diseases have incremental financial pressures affecting everyday life that are not being addressed. That’s why Fifth Season’s financial assistance program, FLAG (Funds for Living and Giving), is designed to bridge the gap between the traditional financial assistance programs available to mitigate the direct medical and treatment costs, and the much broader financial needs of patients. The FLAG Program provides patients with money from a non-traditional asset – their existing life insurance policy.
Adam hopes that those who use our financial assistance program are able to use the funds to maintain or better their quality of life. The funds can be used as the patient sees fit. Common uses include paying rent or mortgage bills, utility bills, medication costs, treatment costs. Others use the funds to take a dream trip—creating lasting memories with family members, to pay for in-home care, or to pay to bring family together. To date, Fifth Season has assisted nearly 400 patients and their families and provided more than $75 million in financial help to patients with advanced illnesses.
The Story Behind Adam’s Passion for Fifth Season’s Services
A year after Adam and his family moved to the United States from Canada, his wife, Tracey, was diagnosed with breast cancer. While dealing with the sobering realities of their new situation, Adam began to learn about the many ways organizations in the U.S. support patients medically and emotionally. However, he was disappointed to see the very limited structured support for the broad range of financial strains patients often face. Adam was motivated and inspired to proactively do something about it. After serving as director of Fifth Season Financial from 2007 through 2009, Adam acquired Fifth Season Financial in October 2012. He then structured and developed the FLAG program to specifically address financial needs of people facing advanced-stage illnesses. Beyond Fifth Season, Adam and Tracey (who is now five years post treatment and doing very well!) are very active in supporting cancer causes, including Gilda’s Club Westchester, where Tracey is a member of the Board of Directors.
Adam’s Expertise
Adam is a lawyer by training, having practiced law for 11 years at Baker & McKenzie LLP, where he became a partner in 2005. Adam holds a joint MBA/JD from the University of Toronto and a Bachelors of Commerce from McGill University. He is admitted to practice law in the Province of Ontario, Canada, and is in good standing with the American Bar Association and the Law Society of Upper Canada. He has served on the Board of Directors of the Life Insurance Settlement Association (LISA) from May 2011 to May 2013.
