2. Healthcare Is A Changing Industry
-A.I. machine learning, smart devices and big data are helping doctors in the
healthcare industry revolutionize patient care;
-The next wave of innovation that we are excited to be a part of it is the
introduction of devices that allow doctors to connect with their patients regardless of
location.
3. Teladoc
-Teladoc is the leading provider of virtual medicine service in the United States.
-According to American Medical Association nearly 70% of doctor and emergency
visits patients could use a teladoc service and completely avoid a physical visit
altogether.
-Imagine the benefits if we could provide people with products that give those
doctors more detailed information.
4. Caring Things
In the same way that consumers can track their activity like daily steps and
sleep cycle via products like fitbit and aura; Caring Things products help you track
your health with devices like thermometers, scales, blood pressure monitors, and
personal health journals.
5. Caring Things - Tympani
We knew we wanted to start with the thermometer.
-It is the universal symbol of healthcare technology in the home.
-The perfect fit for our flagship product.
-A new breed of smart thermometers like Tympani are taking the capabilities of
a thermometer to another level. One that is desperately needed in our current
healthcare system.
6. "It's crazy ridiculous when you can't walk out of a doctor's office or hospital
with a copy of your medical records if you ask for them."
-
Deven McGraw,
Director of the health privacy project at the Center for Democracy and
Technology**
7. Fixing A Broken System
-Employment and government regulations are the primary drivers of change in
healthcare.
-Individuals should be able to monitor and control their own health. People
should have the resources that they need to be proactive.
-We need a world where preventative care is prioritized over waiting because
you don’t want to spend $150 dollars for an unnecessary doctor’s visit.
8. Fixing A Broken System
Two important steps in making healthcare an everyday part of life:
-Providing people with tools that allow them to accurately and objectively
measure their well being easily.
-Provide them with affordable easy access to a doctor or expert who can help.
9. Smart Devices & Priorities
-People are making everything into a smart device: refrigerators, televisions,
microwaves, teething rings,
-People are also using video chat for: guitar lessons, cooking lessons, consulting etc.
-For as big of a problem it is, Healthcare should be a bigger priority than it is in
these fields.
