Engineering the Future of Bio and Healthcare
For too long we’ve confused the status quo for stasis in bio and healthcare. We’ve accepted certain things as true—things we believed to be intractable, or at the very least, extremely hard to change. Then came 2020: the year bio and healthcare had to move fast. We saw adaptation and adoption of new technologies, cultures, and approaches with incredible agility and speed. A vaccine was developed in 42 days. Virtual medicine became the norm. New regulations on everything from drug prices to telehealth licensure and reimbursement swept through the government. And much of bio and healthcare will never look the same.
These new tools and technologies are already changing how we approach everything: what we develop, how we develop it, and how it’s deployed to patients. Now, it’s time to build.
COVID has strained our healthcare system, payors are feeling the squeeze of rising costs, and patients are bearing the brunt of the current system's shortcomings. As a result, healthcare is undergoing a transformation, f...
B2C2B — also known as bottom up — has helped companies like Slack, Zoom, Dropbox, and other software companies break into B2B. Now B2C2B is coming to digital health, as a wave of startups are first selling products and s...
Digital health is currently one of the fastest growing VC-funded segments, and it’s time to update the GTM playbooks for the current (and future) market.
On this episode, we are taking a pulse-check on the state of the intersection between biology, healthcare, and technology with two scientists that sit at another intersection, that of academia and industry: Alexander Mar...
Today’s episode is all about the history and future of infusing tech into healthcare with the goals of improving outcomes and lowering costs, and features one of the leading voices in this field, Jonathan Bush. Jonathan,...
When it comes to healthcare, the topic of how expensive it is and what we can do to lower costs is always top of mind. One area with particularly steep costs is the emergency department. These are hospital departments th...
The way we pay for healthcare in the US has long been by fee-for-service: per doctor visit, per test, per surgery, per hospital stay. But that system has led to rapidly escalating volumes of services and cost to the syst...
There's been a lot of talk (including on this show!) about the many kinds of innovations and technologies changing healthcare delivery for clinicians and patients. But what's happening behind the scenes in healthcare: in...
