Health Data, Wearables and Personal Value

In this episode, we talk to Steven Charlap, MD, trained surgeon and the CEO of Soap Health building conversational AI-powered patient and physician facing interface. Previously, Steven was the CEO of HealthDrive Corporation (the largest U.S. provider of medical and dental services to extended care facilities). In this podcast we focus on health data, e.g. new data generated by wearables and direct to consumer genome testing, to generate value on different levels (personal insights, utility for physicians, health-driven incentives and behavior adjustments). The discussion touches on limitations of new devices, incentive structures, the need for holistic understanding of data and the context where data finds itself, and deep focus on the subject whether they are a patient or a consumer.
