    Do Big Retail & Telecom Hold the Key to Healthcare’s New Front Door?

    Recorded at Rock Health Summit 2020 Countless players have tried their hand at mastering the holy grail of healthcare: better care at lower costs. Big retail and telecom are next in the ring, and they just might have what it takes. These behemoths excel where traditional healthcare and tech companies have faltered—they unify digital and physical assets to get consumers what they need, when they need it, where they are. Whether it’s in-store foot traffic or in-home service teams, retailers have unparalleled access to consumers through existing relationships outside the healthcare system. But will that be enough? Hear from the strategics behind retail and telecom’s bold, potentially transformative moves into healthcare. Moderator: Erin Brodwin, Health Tech Reporter, STAT Panelists: - Sujata Gosalia, EVP and Chief Strategy Officer, Cox Communications - Marcus Osborne, SVP, Walmart Health - Daniel Grossman, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Best Buy

    Unprecedented Funding in an Unprecedented Time

    Digital health funding had a wild ride through the first half of 2020—first hitting a record $3.1B in Q1, then hitting the brakes in April as COVID-19 spread rapidly around the globe. Despite this downswing, investors came roaring back in May as several regulatory and reimbursement barriers to digital health adoption were brushed aside in a rush to keep healthcare systems operational in the midst of the pandemic. Rock Health Managing Director & CEO Bill Evans shares some surprising insights about fundraising in the midst of a pandemic and recession in his conversation with Kaiser Permanente Ventures Director Liz Rockett, Bessemer Venture Partners Partner Steve Kraus, and leading digital health strategic counsel Fenwick & West Partner Michael Esquivel, as they look back on the past six months and look forward to the future of the market. Note: This podcast was recorded on 7/30, prior to the Teladoc acquisition of Livongo.
