Shama HyderLinkedIn 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.

Mohamed El-ErianLove 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

Bertalan Meskó, MD, PhDOver 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

Lee NaikCheck 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.

Yasi BaianiFounders & CEOs - Many of you probably have already seen these advices from various venture funds by now, but I thought to share them here as well for the benefit of those who may not have seen these yet. Please read each article for much more in depth info; the gist of the advices are: 1) Assume meaningful drop in your revenues and top line growth for at least a few quarters to come unless you are in exceptional categories such as remote working technologies. 2) Cut down your expenses to increase your run rate. 3) Have policies for Working From Home and plans for how you will handle cases if your employees or executives end up being #COVID -19 positive. 4) Take actions fast and be decisive.

Well, I spent the weekend cleaning my inbox and unsubscribed from over 30 newsletters and decided to keep only 7 that I cherish and truly dedicate time to read because they are worth it: 1.

Corona Daily is written by a PhD student who gives the perfect daily report about what you should know about COVID-19. 3. StartUp Health Insider is a good way to learn about digital health fundings and communities. 4. STAT Go West summarizes what's going on on the West Coast in terms of life science, healthcare investments and biotech. 5. The Batch focuses uniquely on developments in machine and deep learning and they describe the papers and reports in a way that non-experts can understand them too. 6. Doctor Penguin collects 5 exciting medical A.I. papers every week. 6+1. Please don't forget that The Medical Futurist has a free newsletter in which I collect the most important news about #digitalhealth with the context behind them.
