I'm curious to hear sort of why is it so slow to adopt technology in these, in these systems. I think data interoperability is the main issue. It's look like if you could only integrate with one EHR, regardless how big that EHR is, you're still tying into that particular provider as well. So it's an EHR problem, but it's also a provider wall garden problem. There's a bunch of different tools that are out there from a data interoperability and API first approach. And I think you're seeing really awesome people being attracted to the space right now to build.
This week, we’re super excited to chat with Andrew Arruda, CEO, and Co-Founder of Flexpa, the fastest way for your digital health app to connect to new Patient Access APIs
