What do the tooth fairy, traveling in Eastern Europe, and Google have to do with healthcare tech? Great question. Read on to find out.

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. 

 
Former IBM executive Star Cunningham has spent over a decade building tech solutions for Fortune 500 clients.
