Founded Eliza with two partners in 1998 to offer automated communication tools that doctors may use to book appointments and exchange information with patients. Overtime, Drane's commitment to improve care with straightforward technologies like voice-recognition software, has evolved into a mission to drive comprehensive patient engagement. Tactics now span Eliza's data-driven, personalized outreach to patients at the very onset of care, to her grassroots campaign to bring dignity to the end of life, Engage With Grace, which she launched last fall.

"Changing behavior is about making huge challenges surmountable – whether it’s healthcare reform or a healthier lifestyle. We can start by finding low-effort/high-impact ways to help people better manage their own health in ways that are reminiscent of good old fashioned fun - from learning the tango to joining a neighborhood hula-hooping group. It’s about moving away from ‘the system’ and towards the sustainable."
