I don't know what the business plan here will ultimately be, but there are apps which charge say $40 for a dermatologist to read a photo of your skin lesion. As a physician, at first I thought, what dermatologist would accept $40 (or l

The rides are not really cheap. At best, in nyc, uber x is advertised to be cheaper than a taxi but that is really not always the case.

A newly established startup that just needs an Internet connection maybe could be created anywhere - but a company, which at some point may want to bring in more seasoned talent as it grows, is probably better off near the coastal areas, wi

There's no guarantee, with your old plan, that they would have kept you had you gotten really sick with expensive medical bills. The Slate article above touches on some of this. Some people are getting subsidized care but the only peop

They have an app on the App Store called Hour Blue, which they had run as a demo at Comic Con a few years back, in conjunction with string labs. It doesn't seem to work for me in the iPhone 6 though. You watch a video of the demo if yo

Interesting, but not exactly new. This has been promoted in various ways in the past ( http://www.cvriskcalculator.com/ - which is updated with recent BP management data as well)

I realize it's hard to predict what direction a company will take in the future, but is it YCombinator's policy to incubate companies that from the start seem to be competing against each other? It seems to me that ListRunner and

Although they may not technically have to be HIPAA compliant, they certainly have to allow some of their clients - specifically medical providers - maintain HIPAA compliance. In general, with respect any health tech startup that stores or t

Have to disagree actually. We make seed investments in health it startups and when I came across this, I thought to myself it's a great idea, much needed. But I also wondered who their competitors might be, if any. Posts like this are

A system that facilitates follow up care for patients is a good idea. It's clearly in the patients best interest. It's in the hospitals best interest as well. A number of hospitals are doing this already though, using their socia

A point the article misses is that many people would use the features offered in HealthKit for preventive purposes and tracking fitness levels, more so than sharing with their providers. Personally I'd be more interested in monitorin

Does it matter whether or not the device is not multiuser, as long as apps are multiuser. We have one Apple TV, but my wife and I can log into different netflix accounts pretty easily from Apple TV. That's enough for most people.

Thanks for explaining how it actually works Edith. The idea certainly sounds intriguing, and I wish your team good luck.

The larger point I was trying to make is really why run this as a non-profit. If I choose to Donate, what am I really donating towards? Am I making a donation towards helping medicare reduce it's costs, because the hospitals aren'

Patient education tools such as this are certainly a good idea. The only question I have is why do this as a non-profit? If you are reducing readmission rates for hospital, especially with respect to certain core measures (and CHF is one of

I should point out that I didn't develop it. It was created by the people at Symcat. They are certainly open to any feedback, here's the blog post: http://blog.symcat.com/post/67337436520/cv-risk-calcula

Fair enough, but some people do and more people should. If you are being granted access to your records, electronically, by your physician, then you should know (it's a part of the second phase meaningful use requirement for emr). If I

Valid point with the window shopping comment. A huge mistake on the part of the administration though. The site was apparently flooded with visitors and you have to wonder how many of those visitors were people who already had decent cover

His doctor is correct. Even the lab work obtained - ApoB and CRP - was just a picture in a moment in time. You are not going to be checking these levels on a daily basis, or monthly, at least not until there's an easier way to measure

HIPAA compliance is a hugely important issue when it comes to developing medical applications. I think it's important to point out here that Box is now also apparently HIPAA compliant and signs BAA. Still, there's room for a prod
