This week was extra special! I had the pleasure of keynoting at the Serious Business conference hosted by the Neill corporation...and sharing that lovely stage in New Orleans with the very talented Esther Perel. While her work deals with interpersonal relationships and mine is more in the business realm, there’s still so much overlap. While I speak on marketing and sales and the very tangible realities of succeeding in business, the bigger issues I address deal with the anxieties and overwhelm of the digital age, and hopefully if I’m doing my job right...how to deal with it with a little zen. ;) #business #keynote #conferences #consumerbehavior …see more

Can’t describe my excitement right now!! Our SoGal Ventures seed stage investment in March 2017 is now a $1.3 Billion dollar unicorn 🦄 !!! BlackRock and many amazing new investors including women focused Portfolia joined this $175M Series D round. We are incredibly fortunate to be supporters of Julia Cheek and the diverse Everlywell team!! They’ve been surpassing expectations every month, every quarter, and every year. They showed amazing leadership this year during Covid and pioneered at home Covid tests despite being a 90-person startup. As a solo founder, Julia not only led the company to be successful beyond metrics, but also created an inclusive space for her team to grow, scale, and thrive. 3 years ago when we started the fund, barely anyone believed Elizabeth Galbut and I could be VCs, or that focusing on investing in women makes any sense. Yet here we are!! Standards are meant to be broken and broadened. I hope this story inspires you to break into anything you want to be in, and use your difference to make a real, big impact 👊🏼 #startup #venturecapital #investment #digitalhealth #entrepreneur …see more

I've been waiting for this moment for months! Npj digital medicine, the digital health journal of Nature Research (Publishing) , published our original research about artificial intelligence-based FDA-approved medical devices and algorithms. It's our first publication in such a high-level journal. We aimed at filling two gaps: 1) The FDA should assess and approve A.I.-based medical devices and algorithms differently from others. 2) There should be an accessible database of such algorithms and devices as the FDA's website doesn't make it possible. Our team put a huge effort into creating an open access database and as the paper is available to everyone for free, please use it and share it if you find it useful! If you find any new items or we have missed something, please send your submissions, we'll cross-check it and update the database constantly. Hopefully, the FDA will soon take control over the database as they have the right resources to keep it growing. Thanks Pranavsingh Dhunnoo, M.D. , Stan Benjamens , and Adam Moroncsik for the gargantuan work put into this effort! #DigitalHealth #AIHealthcare #FDA #HealthcareAI #HealthcareAIDatabase …see more

Proud to be the cover story of A Magazine’s November issue! Whenever we get featured in media or conferences, instead of a personal accolade, I see it as a way to spread a much needed message. The mission at SoGal Ventures and SoGal Foundation is way bigger than any of us, and I’m dedicating my life’s work to serve the purpose (and finding a lot of joy doing so), so that we can leap forward with long overdue paradigm shifts and create an even better world for the next generation. There is so much untapped potential of women and minorities. Even with a $15M VC fund, 40 city chapters, 65 investments to date, 100,000+ reach of women and diverse entrepreneurs, we are far from scratching the surface. Every day, we are humbled and in awe that we can touch a someone’s life and inspire her to live beyond boundaries. In my speech I share with people to plan lives based on death. Elizabeth Galbut and I ask ourselves, “If I’m in a building on fire or a plane that’s crashing, do I have regrets before I die?” Our answers have been no. And while we’re alive, everything is figure-outable.

These kinds of requests affirm it's worth carrying on. The Philippines government invited me to a senate hearing to speak about the future of health after COVID-19. For their invitation, I compiled this position paper. I tried to summarize everything that's useful and practicable for a government about digital health. I have doubts its perfectly doable within 2 pages, but I tried my best.

I was recently featured in Forbes thanks to Brian Collins . I left a few nuggets of wisdom for the reader: Psychologists have verified that if you plan ahead, if you decide what it is you want to do and what time you want to do it, you become much, much more likely to actually follow through. However, don't leave any white space. If you have white space on your calendar, somebody is going to plan your time for you, unless you've decided in advance what you want to do with it. We can't call something a distraction unless we know what it distracted us from. So we have to account for that time based on how we want to spend that time, so that we don't find ourselves wasting it doing something frivolous.

I just gave a keynote to Innomar Strategies in a beautiful place in North Canada about how it's possible to bring science fiction to the lives of patients and how digital health makes patients the point-of-care. Excellent feedback, even better questions and an open-minded group with a bold vision about the future. On the photo, my amazing host, Alexandra Novis. One question was particularly interesting, A gentleman asked about the future of privacy in health insurance. I responded that on the nightmare end of the scale (Dr. Big Brother scenario), data cannot be part of the system. No insurance company should be able to raise my premium as I choose a steak over a salad live because they can measure it. The GINA law in the US is a fine example how to avoid that. On the paradise end of the scale (Oscar Health scenario), companies can only reward a healthy lifestyle by sharing data with them. Have you seen good or bad examples worldwide on either end of the scale? #technology #business #design #health #healthcare #digitalhealth #insurance #future #keynote #speaker …see more

The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada has formed a Task Force on A.I. and emerging digital technologies with the objective of helping the medical profession in Canada prepare for the profound changes coming quickly. As part of the Task Force’s engagement strategy, they reached out to me and asked for two calls where I answered their exciting questions about the future of medicine. I can only wish for every physician in the world to have such dedicated and knowledgeable people designing medical education for them. They know digital health is a cultural transformation of healthcare and they want to take action so every medical student and physician can prepare.

I just gave a keynote at the Budapest summit of the Global Alliance for Medical Education. I talked about how disruptive technologies impact the future of learning, why medical professionals must learn about artificial intelligence and at least have to understand the basics and also how educators can prepare to introduce the medical workforce to digital health. To illustrate why we need to teach medical professionals digital literacy and technological intelligence, I mentioned a real example: Several physicians asked me - all joking aside - whether the organs they see through the Virtuali-Tee augmented reality application were my real ones.

My TEDx Talk recently hit 100K views! Thank for all the support! 🥂 How did that happen? 🌏 Design a talk of value for a global audience – avoid activities that only an in-person audience can see and do. Don't alienate viewers at home! 🙂 Keep the talk visually packed – use less words and more symbols and imagery. Sentences and paragraphs distract viewers as we all tend to read ahead rather than listening first. 💃 Make it memorable – stand out by doing something unconventional, but personal. In my case, I introduced emojis as a strategy to humanize a personal brand. 👪 Share share share – this includes your mom, dad, siblings, best friend, and your community. You're in control of your talk, so roll up the sleeves and share. 📰 Media – consider sharing your talk with journalists and contributors who may benefit from sharing your talk with their audience. Thanks for the support Dakota Shane  and Áine Cain  for Inc and Business Insider features! 🚀 Turn your TEDx into something bigger – from the TEDx stage to the Apple Podcast app, I've transformed my talk into a podcast series (Zero to Infinity)! #BeInfinity Once again, thanks for the tremendous support! …see more

I gave a keynote about Privacy in the Digital Health Era at the recent GLOBSEC event and will release the full talk tomorrow! I analyzed this from the perspective of the freedom of choice and used the example of 4 countries. 1) In China, the freedom of choice patients have about digital health technologies is limited because the government makes them use A.I. and other ways of obtaining data about them. 2) In Rwanda, the freedom of choice is there but limited as otherwise they don't get access to healthcare, only through digital health technologies. 3) In the US, patients have a lot of freedom of choice but without proper incentives, medical professionals are not encouraged to get involved. 4) In Estonia, the government designed the right policies to help make patients the point-of-care through digital health by giving patients the real freedom of choice.
