WTF Health gives you a glimpse of the future of health by introducing you to the people who are going to change it. Jessica DaMassa, the emerging ‘It girl’ of health tech interviewing, chats it up with the ‘who’s who’ of the health innovation set.
Meet the health tech startups, VC investors, innovators, and accelerators pushing bleeding edge tech and disruptive solutions into healthcare …and the insurance companies, pharmas, and hospital systems working to shepherd these new ideas into the ‘establishment’ in effort to fix it.
From digital health, telehealth, big data and beyond…to payment model innovation, shifting health policy, and investor sentiment, Jessica helps you spot the trends and figure out what’s next…or, ‘What’s The Future?’ Health. (Yes. That’s really what the acronym means.😉)
