What 140 CEOs want you to know about the FDA (+ more)
We learned some insider tips from digital health execs at our annual CEO Summit we couldn’t help but pass along—like how to influence the FDA, the trick to closing engineers, and how not to run your pilot. In other CEO news: James Park wants to take Fitbit from consumer to clinical, TJ Parker’s Pillpack is battling an industry giant, and things are looking surprisingly worse for Elizabeth Holmes.
Finally: We're thrilled for CEO Chris Moses and the rest of Arsenal—which was just acquired by athenahealth to add machine learning and predictive analytics capabilities.
