Guess how much money rained on digital health last week 💰
Start this week off with a double shot of pure joy named Isabella and two minutes that demonstrate just what can happen when we bring together healthcare and technology. If you want more, join E-Nable at the Rock Health Summit where they'll be 3D printing affordable custom prosthetics.
Oh, and we have something new for you this week! Hope you like it. #makeover
