April 8, 2017 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

Chrissy Farr in Technology Review (Can Digital Therapeutics Be as Good as Drugs?) this week pulls back the curtain on digital therapeutics, Silicon Valley’s latest angle in health.

Fitbit – Can it Save Your Life?

April 5, 2017 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

Apparently. A Connecticut woman wasn't feeling well and noticed on her Fitbit that her heart rate was climbing. She sought medical help and it was determined that she had a blood clot in her lungs.

Wearables and Disappearables

March 16, 2017 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Technology Changes Doctors and Patients

March 11, 2017 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Let’s be clear: Technology, by definition, disrupts what we do and how we do it. It changes relationships. It’s not a maybe or a might or a could. And this isn’t new. Look at the stethoscope. Around 1998 patients ... Continue Reading about Technology Changes Doctors and Patients

August 19, 2016 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Everyone's looking for the Uber of healthcare. The ideal is a button that makes everything right. Most aspiring health care Ubers amount to a convenience for the worried well positioned as brilliant disruption.
