@edyson on #digitalhealth: "It's really important to not just keep innovating, but to start implementing. Find a part, make it move, and connect it to all of the other parts." Hear hear! #innovation @MassBio #Interoperability #populationhealth #healthcare #healthcareinnovation

Word on #TheStreet (and in #TheValley) is that #investors are freaking out that #GenAI isn’t making any money. So, how many #QuBits do you have? #QuantumPopulationHealthManagement? #QuantumComputing #venturecapital #VC #tech #TechTrends #SiliconValley

Breaking (big) news: @amazon to buy @onemedical for $3.9B. That's one way to leapfrog competition, accelerate strategy execution. Tech stack (@awscloud), pharmacy (@PillPack), hybrid care (One medical)...what's next / left? #digitalhealth #healthtech #acquisitions #healthcare

[Karl Hess @OnDigitalHealth]

Wondering...is this (relatively famous..."RIP Good Times") 22-year old advice from @sequoia still relevant? Anything you would add? #digitalhealth #healthcarefinance #healthcare #economy #battendownthehatches #healthtech #startups #venturecapital #mergers #acquisitions

While a few transactions does not a wholesale trend make, @tpg's 'boomerang buyback' of @ConveyHealth highlights the difficulties faced by public cos - even high growth & high potential cos - in the current downturn. #digitalhealth #healthtech #healthcare #healthcarefinance

@HadlyClark Agree, 1000%. I'll also offer up "women's health tech" or "WHT", as suggested by @health_xl.

For a 1H22 sector overview of #digitalhealth as well as a few keys to surviving the current summer "winter", please take a look at Outcome Capital's latest publication: https://t.co/uoSVRMttbc

Not sure if you've noticed, but apparently, "The world has changed." Def wrt #digitalhealth funding, & the operating environment in which #startups find themselves: burn rate, balance sheets now matter. Are you ready to weather the storm? #healthtech #healthcare #VentureCapital

"#digitalhealth investors start by assuming that nothing works. That’s the only way to interpret all these valuations we currently have right now, including ours." -- Mario Schlosser, CEO @OscarHealth @mariots He's not wrong. Can investors even see trees in our forest? #healthech

[Karl Hess @OnDigitalHealth]

“#Healthcare is the sum total of our daily lives.”, said @ariannahuff of @thrive @bstormhealth. Amen. The practice of #sickcare takes too much of our time, $ and effort. There’s (still) a huge unmet opportunity on the prevention front. #fortunehealth #digitalhealth

[Karl Hess @OnDigitalHealth]

“Why don’t we have a better science and data-backed understanding of #womenshealth, end to end?” asked @SABarclay of @insight_capital @bstormhealth. Why, indeed. Progress, however slow / late, is being made. #DigitalHealth #healthtech

[Karl Hess @OnDigitalHealth]

On the #pandemic accelerating #DigitalHealth and #healthtech tech adoption, @emelton said, “Nice to haves (e.g., #Telemedicine, #virtualcare) became must haves.” The consensus here @bstormhealth is that we can’t go back, hybrid is here to stay. The key will be to make it seamless

[Karl Hess @OnDigitalHealth]

Overheard at the @bstormhealth conference: @pfizer’s Dr. Albert Bourla f’casting that a multi-variant COVID vaccine could be ready this fall, depending on @US_FDA input on specific variants to include. #fortunehealth #DigitalHealth #HealthTech

"#Digitalhealth is not in an investment bubble, but it is frothy," the @Rock_Health researchers note, adding, "innovators should take concrete actions to prepare for tighter capital markets." [Source: https://t.co/FFWZAzN85b] Ummm, yeah. Maybe we're not now, but were? TBD in Q2.

[Karl Hess @OnDigitalHealth]

I had the opportunity last night to speak with @vibhorguptaphd and @JingqingZX of @PangaeaDataAI and @DrVKGadi to learn more about their impressive results, just announced @ #BioIT22 (Booth 202). This is one to watch! https://t.co/CIumUyWGkI #digitalhealth #healthtech #bigdata

“If you have access to capital, now would be a good time to look at those companies, and say, ‘What are the assets there, [who] are the people there, and can that accelerate your drive towards a better system of health care?’"--@GlenTullman, @ #ATA2022 #digitalhealth #HealthTech

[Fortune Brainstorm Health @bstormhealth]

Huh. Turns out #digitalhealth #IPO's fell off...a cliff...in 1Q22. Good news, though: According to my math, the "IPO window" can't get much smaller, and, 2 IPOs in 2Q22 would represent a 100% increase, so, there's that. Fortune favors the brave? #HealthTech @CBinsights

[Karl Hess @OnDigitalHealth]

Today's TDOC news reminded me of this: https://t.co/xySlLQWCvJ; def go and (re)watch, to see which predictions 'hit', and those that 'not so much'. Some really prescient stuff by some of the CEOs @seanduffy @jeffdachis @JuliaHuCEO @glassruss @vida #digitalhealth #HealthTech
