Dr. BJ Miller is a longtime hospice and palliative medicine physician. He currently sees patients and families via telehealth through Mettle Health, a company he cofounded with the aim to provide holistic care for individuals and families who need help navigating the practical, emotional, and existential issues that come with serious illness and disability.
Led by his own experiences as a patient, BJ advocates for the roles of our senses, community, and presence in designing a better ending. His interests are in working across disciplines to affect broad-based culture change, as well as furthering the message that suffering, illness, and dying are intrinsic aspects of life. BJ has given over 100 talks on the topics of death, dying, palliative care, and the intersection of healthcare with design.
