Why Digital Health Will Have Huge Impact

Forbes – Digital Health has big buzz this year. For example, it was a hot topic at both the Consumer Electronics Show (“CES”) and the more-serious JP Morgan Healthcare Conference. (“Digital Health” refers to products and businesses that apply modern digital technologies — the web, mobile, the cloud, miniature sensors — to healthcare.) There has been good buzz before, but now there is solid reason to think that digital health will have impact. At a high level U.S. healthcare faces three big problems: high prices, poor care coordination, and an onslaught of chronic disease. Digital health can address all three problems.
