@PearlF Thanks so much for the highlight

[Shwen Gwee @shwen]

If you're in #Boston next week for #BIO2023 or #DHIS East, I hope you can join @stevenwardell and I for a joint #HealthDisruptors + #DigitalHealth Networking Night event on Monday (June 5th) at @LibertyHotel: https://t.co/iJSNHiIlTT

There are many ways #DigitalHealth can be integrated into our health systems to make the #PatientExperience better. Increased communications and transparency about payments are something that most patients are in favor of. #Health https://t.co/IBaNuR1id4

[Jacob LaPorte @JacobRLaPorte]

Just because the pandemic dramatically increased the use of #DigitalHealth tools does not mean that all physicians and providers are eager to integrate it into their systems, but there are things that can be done to encourage adoption. #Health #Healthcare https://t.co/BOAfsgkLGM

[Jacob LaPorte @JacobRLaPorte]

Everyone should have access to #PreventiveCare services. Using tools like #automation to reach patients and populations with preventive care gaps is a great way to advance #HealthEquity. #Health #Healthcare https://t.co/WsBcPOuVfY

Stop wringing your hands over generative AI. Why I believe every life sciences and deep tech VC needs an investment thesis on physics informed machine learning. https://t.co/tFv8DytMcz

The reason #intrapreneurship is becoming a bigger part of the business conversation is that more companies recognize the important role it plays in #ValueCreation and achieving future success. I'm glad to see more organizations taking note. #Intrapreneur https://t.co/xDaiz09EWL

[Jacob LaPorte @JacobRLaPorte]

Despite the recent ruling in Texas, it appears as though most employers will still offer #PreventiveCare services. I'm glad that, even though not required, we seem to understand the value of seeing #healthcare as both prevention and reaction. #Health https://t.co/PczeXoLlCi

When it comes to something as important as #DigitalHealth adoption, you want to make sure your organization is doing everything it can to ensure success. These tips from @Nasdaq can help set you on the right path. #Health https://t.co/RWMsiCiLCJ

[Jacob LaPorte @JacobRLaPorte]

As our lives become more entangled with the digital world, it's crucial for the policies meant to protect us to stay up to date. However, #HIPAA's inability to keep pace with #DigitalHealth transformation poses threats to our #privacy. https://t.co/TghHg3AJeW

[Jacob LaPorte @JacobRLaPorte]

At first thought, there isn't a clear link between a children's hospital and the need for a #ChatGPT expert. Yet, as generative AI becomes more prevalent, having an expert on hand to assist in how best to deploy it in strategy seems like a good idea. https://t.co/GN3TBq5ULV

[Jacob LaPorte @JacobRLaPorte]

#Data is the key to the next era of innovation in #DigitalHealth. Now that we've seen an increase in the adoption of #DigitalHealthTools, we need to be working towards interoperability. https://t.co/iHQHU2prM9

[Jacob LaPorte @JacobRLaPorte]

The latest challenge to the Affordable Care Act means that many Americans will be losing access to #PreventiveCare. I think this is very shortsighted, as removing access to preventive care will only hurt our #HealthSystem in the long run. #Health https://t.co/p67u2xpPNG

[Jacob LaPorte @JacobRLaPorte]

The rise of #wearables means that it's possible for people to have easy access to #DigitalHealth tools, perhaps even to use in #ClinicalTrials. However, there are still a lot of obstacles we need to address before this becomes the norm. https://t.co/CLJQ6kPbVx

[Jacob LaPorte @JacobRLaPorte]

I'm so glad that @POTUS recognizes the importance of protecting access to #PreventiveCare, especially for already vulnerable populations. Preventive screenings can save lives and limiting their access will have fatal effects. #Health #Healthcare https://t.co/Bt5JZxYkSq

[Jacob LaPorte @JacobRLaPorte]

The pandemic exacerbated the challenges and stressors our health workforce faces every day. By embracing digital transformation & digital health tools, we can ease the burden on health systems and healthcare workers. #DigitalHealth #Health #Healthcare https://t.co/0A7pyz6QK4

[Jacob LaPorte @JacobRLaPorte]

@WSJscience We’re looking at the future of #healthcare and it’s looking right back at us. #FacialRecognition is the newest tool in the #DigitalHealth toolbox and has potential use in clinical practice as a diagnostic aide. How would you feel about it at your next doctor’s visit?

[WSJ Science @WSJscience]

“Can we film your face?” Researchers are turning to facial recognition to diagnose strokes and other health conditions to speed treatment. The Future of Everything | Health https://t.co/T2rPDRppzK via @WSJ

[Jacob LaPorte @JacobRLaPorte]

@Forbes #Cybersecurity is non-negotiable during #DigitalTransformations, especially when it comes to #healthcare. Patient data is sensitive and confidential and should be treated with the upmost care. This is important to secure before moving forward. https://t.co/VAfP1Vjj6c

[Jacob LaPorte @JacobRLaPorte]

@MEExecutive #DigitalHealthcare has the potential for more than administration. By supporting education & recruitment, #DigitalTransformation can make it easier for hospitals to deliver quality patient care. Could this be the new face of #healthcare? https://t.co/eGNcdT3yB8

[Jacob LaPorte @JacobRLaPorte]

The pandemic had us scrambling to adopt #DigitalHealthTools out of necessity - there was no time to figure out how all of the pieces fit together. Now that we've emerged from the crisis, we cannot keep operating on fragmented systems. #DigitalHealth https://t.co/5W7LnQvsvr
