Future of Healthcare – CulturalOffering.com

A great find from Kurt at Cultural Offering: the future of healthcare from a firm called Scanadu. It reminds me of the telehealth work that UK firm Cogent Healthcare are embarked upon.  Cogent’s approach is massively scalable telehealth solutions addressing the management of long-term conditions like COPD, dementia etc.  By contrast, scanadu’s solution looks more […]

Cogent Healthcare Systems

It’s great to see this project go live. I recently created the copy for this web-site.  Cogent are the UK’s fastest growing telehealth company and they are doing some inspiring work in what is an inevitable growth area for society: the management of long-term health conditions.
