It’s no secret that Redox is a company of nerds—tech nerds, sports nerds, book nerds. You name it, and there’s probably someone at Redox who is happy to talk at length about any given topic.

As we've touched on in previous posts, healthcare needs technology in order to advance it's capabilities and deliver on the staggering potential of what tech-enabled healthcare can achieve.

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death around the world, and The National Cancer Institute provides some illuminating numbers on it’s projected growth: they estimate that the number of new cancer diagnoses will rise from 14 million to 22 million within the next two decades and that nearly 40% of men and women will develop cancer in their lives. In terms of the cost of cancer, they project that the national expenditure for cancer care could rise from $125 billion (in 2010) to $156 billion by 2020.

If there’s been one common thread throughout the companies featured thus far in Digital Health Done Right, it’s the thought that elevated and improved healthcare extends beyond the four walls of the doctor’s office. We’ve seen this with Glooko, Docent, and Tytocare, and each one does a fantastic job integrating different aspects of a patient’s life into one seamless and cohesive healthcare experience.

Some of our digital health application partners have created solutions for healthcare problems that seem like no-brainers. Glooko, for example, created an awesome platform for diabetes management, and Docent found a way to use technology to inject some much-needed humanity into the patient experience.

There’s a saying that the healthcare industry sits on an ocean of data, but only puddles of information. This is because while undoubtedly necessary, the industry’s shift to electronic health records has unlocked vast troves of patient data that aren’t always easy to meaningfully analyze.

There’s a common notion that inspiration can strike while people are thinking in the shower. Or, that ideas can occur when people are deep in thought and have dedicated countless hours to thinking up something novel.

It’s the halfway mark of the first day of Health Datapalooza 2017 in Washington, DC. This morning was full of intelligent discussions about how to best utilize the emerging goldmine of data in healthcare. There were also plenty of speakers, from the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price, who gave the opening keynote speech, to Casey Quinlan, an incredibly passionate patient advocate who has a QR code of her health records tattooed on her chest.
