HIMSSCast: Healthcare provider input needed for investment dollar allocation
Dr. Kathy Ku is a vice president at Vive Collective, a venture capital firm focused on digital health. Kathy is an entrepreneur, engineer and former consultant. She holds an MD/MBA from Stanford, where she received the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship, and an AB/SM from Harvard, where she studied engineering sciences and molecular and cellular biology.
In other words, she’s pretty smart. And she has a suggestion for the boards and boards of hospitals and health care systems across the country: Include health care providers in the allocation of investment dollars.
In this week’s HIMSSCast, Ku will expand on this idea, while also discussing the current deal landscape, hybrid care models in telemedicine, the next twelve months in healthcare AI, and innovation in government agencies to benefit the country’s public health sector.
