LinkedIn is getting to be a noisy place 🙉 To help you separate the wheat from the chaff, I wanted to highlight just some folks I follow who consistently deliver excellent value. Sarah Johnston - If you are looking for a job, Sarah’s content is some of the best! I’m not in the job market and I still find her lens and perspectives to be beyond refreshing. Sarah Evans - Not many people understand PR for the digital age like Sarah and no one I know shares as much value as she does in that realm. Elizabeth Marshall - Elizabeth is the thought leader’s leader. Many of the top authors and experts I know rely on her guidance to grow their platform. Rohit Bhargava - Trendsetter and go-better, as publisher and author, Rohit is a champion for many. His insights are always on point. Pelpina Trip - If you use your phone to shoot videos and haven’t discovered Pelpina yet - you are welcome. She’s a goldmine or great information - all delivered with the best of Charles E. Gaudet II - Business strategist extraordinaire. Charlie and the team consistently share great tips on sales, marketing, and more.

Love this cartoon from the New Yorker. Not only does it capture the fluidity of this generation-defining moment, but because it also uses the notion of an overlay to the new normal. As I've started to detail over the last few weeks, we do face a "new, new normal" -- that is, a post crisis landscape that retains some elements of the prior new normal and adds new and unusual realities. #economy #markets #coronavirus #covid109 #coovid #newyorker …see more

Over the last 10 years, I have tested over 150 digital health devices, including activity trackers, smartwatches, EEG headbands, portable ECGs and even medical tricoders. Because of this, I'm getting questions daily here on Linkedin and other channels about which digital health devices I use and would recommend for different purposes. In this infographic, we summarized all those devices that we have tested and had a positive experience with. With new and improved devices coming out every week, I'm sure we will have to keep updating this image. If you come across any new device or service that you find useful, please add it in a comment, so we can keep on testing the new ones! https://lnkd.in/e7sg8Vj #digitalhealth #futureofhealthcare #healthcare #healthtech #themedicalfuturist …see more

Check this really cool cartoon strip that captures the essence of what’s wrong with our approach to digital transformation. Digital is intrinsically part of the world we live in and operate our businesses in. It isn’t an adjacency and it’s not an optional part of our business strategy. Digital Transformation starts with the leadership understanding that change in the business needs to happen to be relevant in the current and evolving business environment. Transforming to be “relevant in a digital world” then requires the sponsorship and mandate from the board and leadership to make the required changes across the business’s go to market strategy and operating model and ways of working to drive this relevance.

According to some estimates, the global digital health market is expected to exceed $504.4 billion by 2025; which is nearly a six-fold increase from its 2018 valuation. However, keeping track of the numerous startups that branch into digital health is hard. And keeping track of the promising companies in the digital health field as a whole is even harder. So I decided to compile the 100 most promising digital health companies in an easy-to-understand infographic. Check it out!
