MedCity INVEST

Last week, we had the privilege of attending MedCity INVEST: a national healthcare investing conference hosted by MedCity News and the Mid-America Healthcare Investors Network. The event touched on just about everything that’s going on in healthcare right now, but our focus was on the latest technologies!

One of the more interesting speakers was Dr. David Rhew, the chief medical officer of Samsung America. Dr. Rhew highlighted some fascinating things that Samsung is exploring, including treating pain and anxiety with VR headsets. Make sure to listen in for all of the details!

Also, there was engaging panel discussion about unlocking value in digital health. Last year, the new head of the American Medical Association likened digital health to snake oil, but is that really the case? Find out what this panel of healthcare investors had to say by tuning into this week’s show.

Finally, MedCity News hosted a startup pitching contest during the event. If you want to hear about the “Uber of medical transportation” or the “Pinterest of digital health solutions” check out the show!
