Rock Weekly: Wearables: we’re doing it wrong.
June 29, 2015 SCOTUS stole the show last week with two huge rulings affecting healthcare’s future. King v.

Rock Weekly: Is technology killing the practice of medicine?
June 15, 2015 Or is medicine impeding the use of technology? Last week, the AMA delayed setting telemedicine guidelines, even though virtual visits continue to gain steam.

We’re giving away five free copies to the first readers who respond here!

Rock Weekly: Should the brain be treated as a medical device?
May 26, 2015 Let’s talk about robots. They’re hyper-accurate, cost-saving, depression-diagnosing—even cute. Regardless of the debate about robots vs. humans, one open question in healthcare remains: if algorithms and robots are more accurate than a human doctor, should the human brain be regulated as a medical device? Either way, we’re jazzed this man is getting his limbs back after four decades thanks to bionics. We’re also jazzed that portfolio company Stride Health just raised $13M to be the go-to health insurance and HR platform for an entire one-third of the workforce: freelancers. Congrats, team!
