I don't think this is said enough nor do #healthtech developers take this into account but as .@dacadoo CEO says about getting consumers to adopt your #digitalhealth product: make it relevant, make it easy to understand, make it fun #consumerhealth #FH24

Great company for every pharma to know. .@EveryCure uses #AI to repurpose drugs for other diseases. And it's building a heatmap with a scoring system for therapies out there to signal how likely they can be used to treat different diseases #FH24 #medicalAI

Engaging presentation from head of .@novonordisk TPU (Transformational Prevention Unit) talking about the need for solutions that can predict and preempt ill health. Sudience poll confirms majority believe pharma's about treating diagnosed disease though! #changethestory #FH24

Patients, patients, patients - NOT doctors. That's what it's all about, this #digitalhealth movement. Patients ARE empowered to take action to improve their health, patients DO use AI, but need to remove constraints to make this empowerment happen - Dave deBronkart #FH24

Answer from Roche re my Q about why 2 apps: ithe technology means the predictive hypo episode function needs to be on separate app "BUT when using the 2 apps it doesn't feel like separate apps; toggles between each other; user feedback have been positive." Hmmmm. #diabetes #CGM

Roche is coming to the CGM party very late vs Abbott, Dexcom and even Medtronic. Can it make a dent in the market at this point? #musings #ATTD2024 #glucosemonitoring #diabetes

watching Roche's live media briefing at ATTD right now, and they are unveiling their new 14-day continuous glucose monitor. The big focus is that it can help predict hypo episodes - but there are 2 separate apps, one app just to do the prediction. Why? #diabetes #toomanyapps
