Fitbit users are quitting cold turkey

Fitbit users are quitting cold turkey, the VA is rolling out Podimetrics’ smart mat to diabetic veterans nationwide, and more pharma companies are betting digital health will be the secret sauce to success. This week, we’re feeling especially grateful for the Rock Health family—our portfolio companies (they’re hiring like nobody’s business!), our corporate partners, and each and every one of you. Thank you for all you do to make healthcare massively better!

Kick off JPM 2020 with digital health friends old and new on January 13. Request an invite to our happy hour.
