September 20, 2018 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

This week marks the release of the Apple Watch Series 4 with the capability of EKG. From their wrist, users can record a rhythm that they can send to their doctor.

The Health System Transformation Space

August 23, 2018 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

The world is changing faster than hospitals and health systems can keep up. Progress has outpaced the capacity of 20th century operations.

July 27, 2018 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minute
