1/ Digital health is now growing quickly enough to support the need for a new dedicated tech stack. These companies require similar infra to trad’l providers but the relevant existing HCIT systems make you want to say “the 1990’s called and they want their software back.”
2/ @ribbonhealthAPI, @Wheel_Health, @truepill_rx, @trymedallion, @aptible, @eligibleapi, @CerebraeInc...these co's represent core operational infra that used to take hoards of manual labor, regulatory attorneys, & custom code to implement, but are now available via turnkey APIs.
3/ In other words, things that took me years to build from scratch as a healthcare founder in 2010
can now be done in months or weeks
.


4/ The buyers at these digital health co's are world-class technologists themselves who are raising the bar on product quality, which will lead to the upgrade that we’ve all been waiting for WRT UX, performance, and interoperability of provider- and patient- facing tech.
5/ DM me if you’re building a product that resides in The New Tech Stack for Virtual-First Care: https://a16z.com/2021/01/08/new-tech-stack-virtual-first-care/
