Reimagining the Future of Chronic Disease Care, With Cadence CMO Eve Cunningham, MD

Описание: Eve Cunningham (  / evecunninghammd  ) has spent her career navigating the hard edges of modern medicine from delivering babies and performing gynecologic surgery to leading large health system initiatives and now serving as Chief Medical Officer at Cadence (https://www.cadence.care/) . Along the way, she’s seen firsthand why chronic disease care continues to fail patients despite more data, more technology, and more dashboards than ever before.


In this episode of How I Doctor, Graham Walker sits down with Eve to unpack why clinic-based, episodic care is fundamentally mismatched to conditions like heart failure, diabetes, and hypertension. She explains why early efforts at remote patient monitoring fell flat, how change management and not technology has always been the real barrier, and why most health systems struggle to turn insight into action.


The conversation moves from the realities of governance-heavy decision-making and physician burnout to what it actually takes to manage patients upstream before they land back in the ICU. Eve also shares the deeply personal connection that drives her work, including how her father’s experience with chronic illness shaped her view of what patients truly need.


This is not a tech demo or a sales pitch. It’s a candid discussion about redesigning chronic disease care in a way that works for patients, clinicians, and the realities of modern medicine.
