Healthcare
We are just beginning to see a shift toward a healthcare system that prioritizes and incentivizes less expensive, outcomes-oriented care. We are investing in tech-enabled services that are reimagining key elements of the healthcare stack including care, cures, and costs. We envision a modern healthcare system where the best interests of consumers, payers, and providers are fully aligned.
“We are now seeing the potential of technology to give rise to an entirely new healthcare system — one that is tech-enabled, with personalized approaches delivering clinical outcomes, built on business models that make people demonstrably healthier.”
