Sum(mit)ing it up
Last week, RockHealth.org hosted the 11th annual Rock Health Summit for a day of insightful content and community connection. Session topics ranged from the future of primary care for all, to equity-centered design, to the importance of building toward better outcomes for broad and diverse populations. There was lots of discussion on how the industry can show up for underfunded and underrepresented digital health founders to ensure that healthcare innovations work for everyone. The day wrapped with observations about how markedly different the market environment is today compared to the time of last year’s Summit. While acknowledging challenges, speakers talked about the opportunities available when innovators focus on fundamentals and create differentiated value. Coupled with a call to action for healthcare innovators to create system-level change by prioritizing whole person care and lived experiences, we walked away from the day feeling more inspired than ever to make healthcare massively better.
As we reflect upon all of the Rock Health Summit magic from last week, RockHealth.org is delighted to share the third and final installment of the Rock Health Summit Virtual Series! Tune in for a conversation with digital health founder, investor, and podcast host, Halle Tecco, alongside infectious disease epidemiologist and Senior Advisor at the Pandemic Prevention Institute, Jessica Malaty Rivera, as they discuss facts and debunk myths to answer, “Are we living in a pandemic era?”
