We had lots to cover in this month's Digital Health Download, from a $99 AI companion to if we think PBMs will ever be dismantled.
We discuss:
- A WSJ report on Medicare Advantage insurers pocketing billions for diseases that were never treated or falsely coded
- The FTC's interim report on pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and their impact on drug accessibility and affordability
- Vermont's successful accountable care organization (ACO) program, which led to significant savings and improved care
- The launch of "Friend," an AI-powered wearable device designed to combat loneliness and isolation
- Post-Theranos progress made by companies working on less painful blood tests
- A hospital's new venture into the entertainment industry
