There is [NOT] an app for that
Ten years ago, raising money for healthcare ventures was difficult. “The ROI is too hard to determine,” said some. “There isn’t the data to support new practices,” said others. And Larry Page of Google famously noted in 2014 that, “[Healthcare is] just a painful business to be in. It’s just not necessarily how I want […]

The Fourth Pivot: Lifestyle as the ultimate Health Model
This will be my 100th post since emerging from radio silence on April 5, 2019. I have always used my blog as the means to sharpen my own thinking, communicate my perspective, and educate the market on how I believe healthcare should be.

Primary Health is…a population health service
As part of our ongoing series describing Primary Health (new model, full spectrum, health monitoring, engagement catalyst, and commercial advantage), it is now time to turn to its value when applied to an entire population. We have already described how Health Monitoring can rapidly detect, in near real time, the health of the population through […]
Primary Health is…a “Commercial Advantage” Plan
When employers complain about the ever-rising costs and increasing complexity of providing healthcare for their employees, they seem blind to a proven model that’s right in front of them.
