Signs of a maturing digital health market this week on MedHeads

We’ll discuss how the maturing digital health market is sparking more M&A deals and became part of Hillary Clinton's agenda in the presidential race.

In one week there have been three digital health acquisitions (so far), telehealth collaborations and a presidential candidate weighed in on Medicare reimbursement for telemedicine. It’s no coincidence; these news items speak to a maturing digital health market that’s getting more interesting to watch after years of investment, pilot studies and government-led healthcare reform.

We’ll discuss how the maturing digital health market is sparking more M&A deals and making telemedicine a more mainstream topic in the presidential race and big box drugstore. We’ll talk about these overlapping topics along with the most important news this week on MedHeads, MedCityNews.com’s look at the business of innovation in medicine.

MedHeads, as it does every Friday, starts at 4 pm Eastern today. Join us via the YouTube embed below or on our Google Hangout On Air page.

This week Chris Seper, Neil Versel and I will discuss the significance of these digital health acquisitions and what makes these companies attractive. On the telemedicine front we’ll also talk about the impact of making telemedicine part of a Hillary Clinton’s healthcare agenda, and other stories.

So join the MedCity News team to talk about the week that was in the business of medicine at 4 pm Eastern today.
