Jenny Ahlstrom, founder of the HealthTree Foundation, was recently interviewed on The Pulse podcast. The episode, "Pushing for Change," aired on February 14, 2025, and explores what motivates individuals to make a difference.

In the comprehensive interview, Jenny discussed how HealthTree's innovative platform allows blood cancer patients to input their medical history, treatment responses, and side effects, creating a valuable database for researchers. This patient-driven approach has already collected data from over 12,000 multiple myeloma patients, making it an invaluable resource for understanding treatment patterns and outcomes.

Listen to Jenny’s personal experience with multiple myeloma and how it led her to create HealthTree. Diagnosed in 2010, she discovered a critical gap in the availability of data-driven treatment options for patients like herself. This experience fueled her passion to establish HealthTree, a non-profit organization providing vital information and support to blood cancer patients and researchers.

"HealthTree can help researchers use best-in-class treatment options [for their patients] and can drive them towards cures," Ahlstrom stated in the interview. She further emphasized her dedication to patient support, adding, "I love supporting patients. We just want faster cures, that's it!"

The Pulse, hosted by Maiken Scott, delves into the health and science world, exploring cutting-edge research and life-changing innovations. The episode featuring Jenny Ahlstrom also includes segments on the science behind effective protests and the ongoing debate surrounding water fluoridation.

Special thanks to Maiken Scott, Host and Executive Producer, and Producer Nichole Currie for their kindness and support.
