    What's the story

    Three Indian-Americans have been named in the Time magazine's 2018 list of the 50 most influential people whose work is transforming healthcare in the US.

    The three Indian-Americans on the list are Divya Nag, Dr. Raj Panjabi, and Atul Gawande.

    To put together the list, Time nominated people who made significant contributions to the state of healthcare in America this year.

    Here's more.

    Information

    The making of Time magazine's 'Health Care 50' list

    The publication evaluated the work of contributors on originality, impact, and quality. The list was broken up into four separate categories, including public health, treatments, cost, and technology. The list included physicians, scientists, business and political leaders, whose work is transforming healthcare.

    Divya Nag

    Nag developed ResearchKit used in Apple Watch: Series 4

    At not even 30, Nag is leading Apple's special projects focusing on health.

    Nag's team developed ResearchKit, an open source app developer for doctors and researchers to share patient results and clinical data.

    It announced groundbreaking new tools for the Apple Watch: Series 4 which includes an emergency response system, in case the wearer falls and doesn't respond, and a medical-grade EKG heart-rate monitor.

    Dr. Raj Panjabi

    Panjabi's efforts were crucial in fighting Ebola from 2014-2016

    A Harvard Medical School professor who came to the US as a refugee from Liberia, Panjabi co-founded 'Last Mile Health' to recruit and train community health workers in areas lacking local health services.

    Last Mile's efforts were crucial in fighting Ebola during 2014-16, and now Panjabi is building Community Health Academy, a mobile platform for training healthcare workers remotely through video, audio instruction.

    Information

    Gawande's venture focuses on low-cost corporate health care

    Gawande was tapped to lead a new nonprofit health care venture that will cover the more than 1 million employees of Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway, and JPMorgan Chase. Though few details are public, it is said to focus on transparent, low-cost corporate health care.

    Time's statement

    American healthcare system plagued for decades by major problems: Time

    "The American health care system has been plagued for decades by major problems, from lack of access to uncontrolled costs to unacceptable rates of medical errors," the editors of Time magazine wrote in a report unveiling the list.

    "And yet, real as those issues remain, the field has also given rise to some extraordinary innovation," the editors added.
