Whether activity trackers, smartwatches or sensors, wearables have made fitness and wellness an always-on activity among consumers. But a disconnect exists between an “always-on” approach and the brick and mortar that is the doctor and patient relationship. A rise in digital health solutions has the potential to alter the nature of the doctor-patient dynamic through increasing… Read MoreTakeout Giant Delivery Hero Raises Another $110M At Over $3.1B Valuation Ahead Of IPO

I still saw the ads though while scrolling the video, so I resorted to… Read MoreDon't Let Your Investors Buy All The Options
