@morgancheatham Great to see you Morgan....look forward to the read! Congrats on role

We sold Swype to Nuance. They split into 2 co's @NuanceInc and @CerenceInc. Cerence kept the Swype patents. A couple mo ago, Cerence sued Apple for infringing on Swype patents!

I left Nuance to startup Xealth. We just sold @xealthinc to Samsung!

Roelof - Sam - Samsung!!

My @roelofbotha & @sama story...

We launched Swype (mobile keyboard) @TechCrunch 50 in 2008. @Yammer got 1st place, @fitbit 2nd, Swype 3rd. Roelof and @sequoia wanted to invest. But we had a Nokia/Samsung co-lead lined up plus $ millions lined up in commercial contracts 1/

[mike mcsherry @mcscary]

I did a perfunctory call with Sam (hard to demo a touchscreen keyboard via call, this was pre-zoom)...but neither of us really followed up.

So we raised money from @nokia and @Samsung...got Swype deployed on billions of Android phones. Eventually even iPhone adopted Swyping! 4/

Smoke in Seattle! Ughh

"@Samsung just pulled a healthcare power move by buying their way into real integration. With @xealthinc now in its corner, Samsung could quietly control the invisible infrastructure that actually gets used in hospitals."

.@Samsung wants to bridge the two worlds of health and tech, and it acquired @xealthinc to push deeper into healthcare. Here's why Samsung execs, and some healthcare executives, are bullish on the company's plans

@chrissyfarr @lightspeedvp Some esteemed company! Nice to be recognized amongst this group.

[Xealth @xealthinc]

CEO @mcscary spoke w/ @FierceHealth’s @HeatherLandi about @Samsung’s acquisition:

"Samsung saw us, with our deep workflow, integration and relationships with providers, to be a respectful way to enter healthcare and do so in a gradual & meaningful way."

Couldn't have achieved our success without @UPMC and @UPMCEnterprises. You precipitated our @providence spinout. Special thanks to Tal Heppenstal, Mark Stabingas, Rob Bart, Glenn Updike, Chris Carmody, Chris Katz, Brent Burns, Katie Scott along the way!!

You want to be a good role model in work/career achievement, but you also want to be present in their growth and maturity.

These words below tell me that maybe I struck the right balance? Thank you Daley and Finn, I love you. And above all else, you too Kelli! ♥️

World's first Dadicorn - half dad, half tech mogul, ALL legend

These comments from my 2 boys fill me with pride and love. As a startup founder, you make sacrifices in travel and work ....missing some of their key life events as you juggle priorities between work and family. 1)

[mike mcsherry @mcscary]

What a week. A shared commitment to improve health lives.
Samsung's devices + Advocate's providers + Xealth's technology

Connected care isn’t just about Data & Devices —it’s about Dignity.

❤️ It’s about hearing me, knowing me, & engaging me… with #AI powered nudges to guide, support & empower.

Excited for #consumertech giant @Samsung’s entry into #healthtech with acquisition of @xealthinc!

[mike mcsherry @mcscary]

@KeithFiglioli Be bold, start cold…but aim for the strong finish! :-)

[mike mcsherry @mcscary]

I hate when I’m the dumbest one in a group.

Such phenomenal insights. We’re all tackling dift dimensions of healthcare. But the more we can integrate these silos, the more we can practice and deliver healthy care and lives!

[Xealth @xealthinc]

Insightful panel at #SamsungHealth Forum with @SamsungMobileUS Dr. Hon Pak, @xealthinc’s Mike McSherry, @advocatehealth’s Dr. Rasu Shrestha and @HingeHealth’s Jim Purlsey talking the future of healthcare. Exciting things on the horizon!
