I'm an old curmudgeon in the world of health technology. Best known as the founder of The Health Care Blog (THCB) and (with Indu Subaiya) the Health 2.0 conferences, I now split my time between THCB, and the SMACK.health Advisory service for health tech startups
Starting in 2007 (yup, before Digital Health was cool!) Health 2.0 was the leading conference series showcasing frontier technologies in health care. In April 2017 HIMSS bought the conference side of Health 2.0. Catalyst @ Health 2.0 was the other part of Health 2.0 and never went over to HIMSS.
The Health Care Blog has been a leading source of opinion, news and interviews about health and health technology since 2003, now with 100k visitors or so a month. It's a mix of opinion and analysis pieces, with lots of interviews of health tech CEOs and more. It also features the weekly #THCBGang live video/podcast where I wrangle a group of health care know-it-alls.
And at SMACK.health I advise startups navigating the health care world.
During my career I've spent nearly 30 years in health care and health care IT as a generalist forecaster and strategist, I've worked for renowned forecasting (IFTF) and polling (Harris) organizations, conducted several ground breaking in-depth studies about many aspects of health care, and delivered several keynote addresses all over the world (and now all over Zoom). I know a few people too.
