Rock Weekly: Health data outs docs whose patients die more often

June 8, 2013
Q3 is kicking off in high gear — there are a ton of killer upcoming events over on our Events page, including the one and only Health Innovation Summit, as well as our upcoming Meetup of the Minds on the role of crowdfunding.

You would’ve known it was a thing if you read last week’s 2013 Midyear Digital Health Funding Update, which gives you the deets on everything from the top states for digital health funding to the leading investors of 2013 thus far, and was covered by VentureBeat, Forbes, Xconomy, and more.

PERK! The first three people to respond win a free ticket to to our upcoming Meetup of the Minds, July 16th at 7 pm at swissnex in SF. Learn how Scanadu raised $1.2M on Indiegogo to build a medical tricorder and the benefits and challenges of other crowdfunding platforms.
