How Pokémon GO Is Reinventing Healthcare Consumerism

Paul Roemer | Health System CIO | July 22, 2016

Have you ever sat through a strategic planning meeting? I have, and flies are dropping out of the air, dead from boredom. It is rare that I find a firm that actually has a defined strategy. What they usually have is a budget, and they leave no number unturned in their ability to explain why they cannot afford to do something that even hints of being innovative. There are literally hundreds of health apps you can download that purport to have something to do with your health. Most of them measure something: what you ate, what you did...
