January 13, 2020 In my latest podcast episode, I speak with Daniel Barchi, SVP and CIO of NewYork-Presbyterian health system, on a wide range of topics related to the current state of tech and digital transformation in healthcare. Daniel has been famously quoted for his statement that healthcare tech is “80% people, 15% process, and 5% technology.” He discusses the challenges of trying to tie together 20-plus years of legacy technology with emerging tech to move the enterprise forward in digital health. He informs us that in future, digital medicine will be referred to as just medicine. Take a listen. As the annual J.P. Morgan healthcare conference gets underway in San Francisco, emerging technologies and VC-funded startups are in the limelight. VC funding levels for digital health dropped off from their 2018 highs. However, it looks like IPOs may be on the rise. The potential for transformative technology-enabled solutions has never looked better. Astronauts removed a blood clot in space using telehealth, and voice-recognition emerged as a tool for identifying biomarkers for dementia and psychiatric disorders. The FDA is scrambling to keep pace with the market and regulate the participants. The emergence of data-sharing agreements between health systems and big tech firms such as Google has sparked a new level of debate on privacy. We have included a piece by WSJ that examines the cloudy relationships with several leading health systems.
