Health technology is becoming a big topic in 2015. We’re seeing
wearable technology that can automatically upload our health data to the
cloud, cellphones are becoming tools to connect us to the doctor’s
office, a
Google moonshot project detects cancer on an app and
23andMe has received FDA approval for at least one genetic test of a rare disease.
This is now a multi-billion dollar industry that is rapidly changing the way we handle medicine.
Rock Health is a seed and early stage venture fund that supports a
part of this next wave in health technology. The firm has made 85
investments in the digital health field since 2011, including
health insurance platform
Stride Health and
Chrono Therapeutics, a biotech startup working on solutions to addictions and disease.
I sat down with Rock Health founder Halle Tecco to get her thoughts on this next phase in digital medicine.
