Sachin Joshi, chief data and analytics engineering officer at Evernorth, recently sat down at VentureBeat Transform 2022 to discuss the ways Cigna is using data science, predictive modeling, and machine learning to improve patient health outcomes, reduce costs, and fix a fragmented health care system.

Monkeypox, also called MPX, has been making headlines as of late. But, what exactly is Monkeypox? How did it come about, and what does it look like when a person contracts it? We tapped the expertise of Dr. Mark Netoskie, a market medical executive at Cigna, to answer these questions and more.

However, size alone does not equal quality. The quality of care a patient receives is critical in managing the total cost of care, which includes medical, pharmacy, and behavioral care costs.
