Inspiring Innovation: OT in Tech, DME and Entrepreneurship with Dr. Brandy Archie


As a practicing OT, you know the importance and value that obtaining the necessary DME and adaptable equipment has on reaching your patient's goals. Unfortunately, it can be a challenge to find and obtain the right equipment especially when dealing with insurance claims. Today’s guest Dr. Brandy Archie recognized this problem and created Ask Samie to help patients get the right adaptable equipment in an easy and stress-free way. That’s why this week on The Amplify OT Podcast, my guest Dr. Brandy and I are talking about inspiring innovation: OT in tech, DME, and entrepreneurship.
