This book has some great interviews with health tech leaders (Sean Duffy of Omada Health, Andy Slavitt formerly of CMS, Mario Schlosser of Oscar, Abner Mason of ConsejoSano), but this book severely lacked for an editor.

Chapters were disorganized and didn’t share any centralizing themes, the interviews were all structured differently, and other quirks (eg the author often referred to himself in third person or used “we” despite being a solo author; referring constantly to the then-new CVS-Aetna merger despite not mentioning it in an actual interview with an Aetna executive) made this difficult slogging outside the interviews.

It would have been much better to just make this a tightly edited book of interviews, bolstered by significantly more research and statistics vs the author’s own anecdotes.

I found the book to be eye-opening and applicable to anyone with a smartphone who has ever been or will ever be a patient. The trend is alive where we take a proactive role in our own well care to stave off the need for sick care! More people need to adopt this thought process! Bravo for The Digital Health Revolution and Kevin Pereau!

I recommend this book by Kevin Pereau as a quick overview of the current digital health landscape from various perspectives including payers, hospitals, techies, physicians and some (could use more) consumer perspective. The diverse views of the people interviewed are insightful about the challenges and promises of digital health.
