Digital's Role In Tomorrow's Care Delivery With Ken Ehlert
Recorded on 10/24/22
In this episode, we’ll be discussing how the delivery of care is changing, moving out of the hospital and doctor’s offices and into our homes and on our smart devices. Innovation is occurring at a rapid pace, like telehealth, which emerged during the pandemic, and has spawned new entrants, like Amazon, looking to disrupt the status quo. But perhaps central to this is the role of technology in this transformation.
To help explore this and more, Cowen’s Health Care Technology Analyst Charles Rhyee speaks with Ken Ehlert. With over three decades of experience in health care, Ken has focused on using data, analytics, and a longitudinal understanding of disease to build products and businesses that improve the health care system. His career consists of numerous leadership positions and entrepreneurial endeavors, including serving until recently as UnitedHealth Group’s Chief Scientific Officer.
