This is a truly impressive example of Great Britain.

After a decade in California, I've moved back to the UK...and it's great! Some initial observations on the healthcare startup scene here:

The highest priority domain for innovation in healthcare: incentive design

Convo last night: Why can AI make these videos and not read radiology scans etc?

AI can crush radiology scans and most healthcare applications, harder part is entrepreneurs breaking down huge barriers of healthcare ecosystem to deploy.

There's consensus that the NHS is in a perilous state. My hypothesis is that this is cause for optimism: agreement across the political spectrum that things can't go on as they are provides a rare opportunity to make bold, systemic changes.

@chrissyfarr Headspace! (And I’d argue not nearly enough U.K. co’s are making it in the US)

[Peter Hames @phames]

@JimBethell Agree that a greater tolerance of (contained) failure in the NHS would be helpful, but disagree that taking greater risks is what’s necessary. Smart commissioning that shares risk and aligns incentives with innovators more important.

Proud to announce that @wearebighealth's digital therapeutics, @Sleepio and @daylight_app, have been added to @Evernorth’s Digital Health Formulary. Now, more Americans can access guideline-compliant #mentalhealth care for insomnia and anxiety: https://t.co/bJRp9Xneb8

[Peter Hames @phames]

We are on the cusp of digital therapeutics becoming a core part of the everyday delivery of medicine, with @wearebighealth at the forefront.

Today, I am excited to announce we are evolving our leadership team to take advantage of the opportunity ahead: https://t.co/kCt8UBeQIU

Can’t wait to participate in @MGHPsychAcademy’s Future of Mental Health. A chance to discuss the potential of #digitaltherapeutics and other innovative treatment modalities to transform the standard of #mentalhealth care: https://t.co/05AYOlPQWH

After @axios broke the news of @wearebighealth's new Medication Targeting program last week, I am excited to share more details about the program and what it means for the digital therapeutics industry. https://t.co/rM0WXEqtVd

[Peter Hames @phames]

Great study by @ProfEspie and team demonstrating how Sleepio benefits stroke patients. Another strong indication of how we can support the treatment of comorbid conditions by integrating #digitaltherapeutics into the care pathway. https://t.co/X8W7jhphKT

[Peter Hames @phames]

By seamlessly offering access to CBT via digital therapeutics alongside medications, we are now able to provide access to guideline recommended care at-scale. Thank you @axios’ @sarpring for covering this innovative program and what it means for #digitaltherapeutics.

[Peter Hames @phames]

Through our new Medication Targeting program with @CVSHealth, all eligible patients who fill a mental health prescription will be offered the option to access our digital therapeutics alongside their medications. https://t.co/goCQgnyThC
