Sam Basta's insight:

It is exciting to see numerous new primary care delivery business models bursting onto the scene, including concierge medicine, retail clinics, mobile health vans, and direct primary care.

This is Healthbook, Apple's major first step into health & fitness tracking

"As detailed in the images throughout this article, which are complete recreations of screenshots, Healthbook’s user interface is largely inspired by the iPhone’s existing Passbook application. Versions of Healthbook in testing are capable of tracking several different health and fitness data points.

Each category of functionality is a card in the Healthbook. Cards are distinguished by a color, and the tabs can be arranged to fit user preferences. As can be seen in the above images, Healthbook has sections that can track data pertaining to bloodwork, heart rate, hydration, blood pressure, physical activity, nutrition, blood sugar, sleep, respiratory rate, oxygen satura..."

Using Open Innovation to Deliver High-End Healthcare Disruption | Innovation Insights | Wired.com

"So how do we begin to break through the barriers that exist in healthcare to create an environment where truly disruptive innovation is possible? One option is to fling open the doors of the R&D department, figuratively speaking, and invite anyone — doctor, nurse, healthcare administrator, even patient and caregiver — to participate in product creation. Common sense suggests that any person living with a healthcare challenge or any healthcare worker tasked with patient care is ideally situated to identify problems and opportunities that exist within their current environment of care. It stands to reason that these same people might already have solutions in mind for how to improve the situation, but perhaps lack the knowledge, resources, or time necessary to bring their ideas to life. In the consumer world, we talk about new inventions fulfilling unmet consumer needs, but in the medical world, no important need is ever ignored — rather, nurses, doctors, or the patients themselves often develop their own “work-around” when the ideal solution is missing. These “work-arounds” represent ideal opportunities for innovation."

From FitBits To Clinical Studies: How Big Data Could Change Medicine

The video embedded in this post is one of my favorite moments from the Forbes Healthcare Summit we held earlier this year. It focuses on how ‘big data’ – that is, the availability of large data sets and the ability to analyze them – will change the way that doctors treat patients. Other industries are moving toward putting more data in the cloud, keeping it on remote servers instead of in house. What opportunities does an Amazon-like focus bring to health care? I spoke for a lively forty-five minutes with:

Susan Desmond-Hellmann, the dean at University of California, San Francisco, and formerly the head of development at Genentech, where she became one of the most well-regarded executives in the drug industry.

Jonathan Bush, the founder and chief executive of Athena Health, a provider of cloud-based electronic medical records; the company has a market capitalization of $4.8 billion and revenues of $539 million.

Glen de Vries, the President of Medidata (one of the conference’s sponsors). Medidata provides clinical trial databases, also cloud-based, to drug companies, and helps pharmaceutical firms control their research costs and manage their research productivity. It’s stock has tripled this year.

Stephen Friend, the director of SAGE Bionetworks, which uses network-based biology and data submitted by patients themselves to try to figure out new ways of developing drugs and other therapeutics. He was previously the head of cancer drug research at Merck.
