Pivot Podcast: Hinge Health CEO Dan Perez exhorts all healthtech firms to validate, publish results

Digital health technologies have received plenty of attention, cash and sky-high valuations but do they deserve it? In the latest episode of MedCity’s Pivot podcast, CEO of Hinge Health says companies need to validate their results in order to move the industry forward.

Costs associated with musculoskeletal conditions have traditionally accounted for the lion’s share of healthcare costs for large employers. One company on a mission to change that is San Francisco-based Hinge Health. In an interview for MedCity’s Pivot podcast, Perez explained why it deserves its $6.2 billion valuation despite having no profits to speak of. He also addressed reimbursement issues and encouraged all digital health firms to validate and publish their results.
