LGBTQ Americans have a lack of understanding of the preventive health services they need, compared to the general population, a new report found. In order to create targeted messaging campaigns to increase preventive health knowledge among the LGBTQ community, the healthcare industry needs to include more LGBTQ patients in medical research to better understand the population's health.
After a relatively quiet IPO market, 2019 has emerged as the year of the digital health IPO with Health Catalyst, Livongo Health, Phreesia, and Change Healthcare all going public earlier this year and Peloton going public in October. Will this last?
Both Livongo and Health Catalyst held their IPOs today and saw their stock price soar more than 40 percent in early trading.
According to the company's prospectus, Phreesia's platform facilitated more than 54 million patient visits for approximately 50,000 individual providers and processed more than $1.4 billion in payments over the course of FY 2019.
