Longer version:

Susannah Fox is a health and technology strategist. Her book, Rebel Health: A Field Guide to the Patient-Led Revolution in Medical Care, will be published in February 2024 by MIT Press. Her research has been featured in publications ranging from Pediatrics and the Journal of the American Medical Association to the New York Times and Harvard Business Review. She is a former Chief Technology Officer for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services during the Obama Administration, where she led an open data and innovation lab. In 2014-15, she was the entrepreneur-in-residence at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. For 14 years she directed the health portfolio at the Pew Research Center’s Internet Project where she helped create and define a new market at the intersection of health, social media, and patient engagement.  

Fox currently serves on the board of directors for Cambia Health Solutions of Portland, OR, and Smart Check-In, of New York, NY. She also advises organizations — big and small, nonprofit and for-profit — on how to navigate the intersection of health and technology, targeting areas of the health care system that need to work better for patients, survivors, and caregivers.

Fox is a graduate of Wesleyan University with a degree in anthropology.

She is the mother of two children, a caregiver for elders, and lives in Washington, DC, with her husband, Eric Halperin.
