Rock Weekly: Health Data Month kicks off & the Entrepreneur’s Guide to Hospital Partnerships

October 1, 2012
Rocktober is here! This month, we celebrate Health Data Month, kicking off with tomorrow’s Living Well Through Data.  We’ll be blogging about the subject all month, and we have a special report on Big Data in Health coming to you very soon.

And there are other goodies, too: last week, we released theEntrepreneur’s Guide to Partnerships with Healthcare Providers, a how-to for piloting a digital health product in a clinical setting.  Got feedback? Email research@rockhealth.com.

It’s all treats this month, kiddos.
