The 7investing Podcast Health Care’s Hi-Tech Future With ROBO Global’s Nina Deka
America's health care bill may cost us $4 trillion a year. But at least we're getting more efficient.
Technological advances are improving several of health care's most serious issues. Oncology diagnostics are now able to detect earlier-stage cancers before patients even begin showing symptoms. Remote monitoring is taking vital signs of the elderly without them ever needing to step into a hospital. The COVID vaccine is renewing our focus on mRNA, genomic sequencing is unlocking personalized treatments, and spatial biology is quickly capturing the full attention of the medical community.
But due to heavy regulations and the specialized nature of the work, isn't the health care industry also notoriously slow to embrace innovation? Will these exciting new technology improvements actually pay off for forward-thinking investors?
To help us answer those questions, we've brought in a health care expert. Nina Deka is a senior analyst for ROBO Global, where she contributes to the firm's health care technology index that carries the ticker "HTEC". Nina has spent her career either working in or covering the health care industry, and she is well-versed in the ways of how technology can improve it.
In an exclusive interview, Nina spoke with 7investing CEO Simon Erickson about several of health care's most important developing trends and the specific companies that investors might consider as opportunities.
Publicly-traded companies mentioned in this interview include Akoya Biosciences, Exact Sciences, Illumina, Invitae, Moderna, Pacific Biosciences of California, Teladoc, and Vocera Communications. 7investing's advisors or its guests may have positions in the companies mentioned.
