July 1, 2019In my most recent piece in CIO, I discuss the penetration rates for digital health platforms. Turns out that healthcare is far too fragmented and incentives are not aligned enough to enable any one platform to dominate. The good news though is that there is room for multiple players, as healthcare is not a winner-take-all market that can be locked up by a well-funded first mover.The fragmentation of the marketplace is forcing digital health startups to consolidate or close down, as we see from the merger of Sansoro Health and Datica, as well as the demise of Call9. Sansoro Health CEO’s acknowledgment of the “staggering hurdles” in bringing digital health solutions to market may be a cue for some amount of rationalization and consolidation in the digital health solutions marketplace.Elsewhere, a lawsuit against Google and the University of Chicago brings up the tricky business of monetizing patient data, even as others like Lehigh Valley Health System gets into a data-sharing agreement with CVS/ Aetna.Our latest issue of the WITCH Monthly Monitor is out.
