3 Reasons Why National Digital Health Transformations Fail
An armada of digital health technologies is set to bring healthcare to the 21st century. Artificial intelligence can make the alarm fatigue epidemic a thing of the past. Medical-grade, portable diagnostic devices make patients the point-of-care.

But at 43, he also broke the record for being the oldest quarterback to lead his team to win a Super Bowl. Skipping fruits and infrared rays-emitting pyjamas aside, Brady must be doing something right to maintain such longevity to his athletic, record-breaking performance.
Brady has credited this to the “TB12 Method”, a strict health and wellness regimen he co-created with his longtime trainer Alex Guerrero. His diet inv...
