We all have seen a massive crisis in the overall business ecosystem. The 1st was COVID, then the war in Ukraine led to inflation. How have these events impacted #healthcare investment?

From both the entrepreneurial and investor sides, there's a lot of money out there. - Jessica

Tech giants like Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft have experience, technology, data and money, which many new enterprises lack. Most importantly, with these resources, tech giants can do trial and error, which others don't have.

Healthcare industry has seen rapid decentralization, particularly after the pandemic. But, it's pretty astonishing that virtual visits have dropped by 70%. And the reason is that 'basic things are not in place.'

Jessica dropped some crystal balls on healthcare decentralization.
