I got off to a slow start in 2018. An MD gave me a prescription for a med that had possible side effects including Stephens-Johnson syndrome. He didn't tell me of the side effect nor did I do a search, though I knew about Stephens-Johnson. Anyway, I got it, and even when I was over the worse it took months before I could do more than link three sentences together.
But the point is not to reflect on that. Except to say I have seen enough horror stories to seriously distrust the medical system and hospitals. And that leads me to focus more on healthcare IT, or digital health, as one of the major themes I cover here.
Digital health investments reached an all-time high of $8.6 billion in 2018, according to a report from PwC and CB Insights. And most experts don't expect it to slow down soon. And there are more digital health startups in Philly than you can shake a stick at.
So in addition to Enterprise Tech and the Comcast world, Digital Health is the third leg of the triangle this website will cover. And I hope to be highlighting things that actually make a difference.
