Digital health innovation continues moving full-force in transforming the business of healthcare.

From new partnerships between digital health and life science companies to revamped commercial models, collecting and extracting insights from data is at the core of these growth opportunities. But navigating the rapidly evolving terrain is no simple task. We chatted with ZS Associates Principal Pete Masloski to discuss how he works with clients to help identify, develop, and commercialize digital health solutions—and where he sees patients benefiting as a result.

So how do incumbents and innovators’ dedication of time, money, and resources to reduce costs and improve delivery of care translate into value added to the market?
