DigitalHealth InvestorTalk: A solution for high healthcare costs?

In the show we’ll dive into:

• The only way to cut heatlhcare costs are cut prices, cut use, reduce unnecessary services, and replace higher cost services with lower priced ones
• We look at each way to cut costs with policy innovation promising to reduce unnecessary services and tech innovation promising to introduce lower cost services
• But each move in healthcare is opposed by entrenched interests; who is budging first?

And we'll answer your questions
