Rock Weekly: FDA may win the battle, but 23andMe will win the war

Happy New Year from Rock Health! As the dust from fireworks settled and the bowties came off, we released our third annual and best ever Digital Health Funding Year in Review. Sink your teeth in. Also last week, IMS Health announced it’s going public (again) after filing for a $100M IPO.

We’re excited to welcome Factor 14, an intelligent anticoagulation management platform, to the Rock Health family! Factor 14 was named a finalist in Verizon’s Powerful Answers Award. The winner will be announced Wednesday at CES. Let’s go Factor 14!

Heading to CES? Us too. Here’s the rundown on where every digital health aficionado needs to be. We’ve also got two free passes to Robotics on the Runway at CES on Tuesday night. Tell us via Twitter what disruptive health bots you want to see to win your spot!
