I am a researcher and writer. My job is very simple. I monitor specific areas/themes/trends and report back to my clients. They don't expect me to be an expert in everything, which is a good thing because I'm not.

I typically get hired because of my ability to present my research in a broad, relatable context, combining insights from multiple fields. I concentrate on healthcare, with a secondary focus on finance and demographics.

I produce education content for healthcare staff and trustees. I have a small business book publishing company.

My most popular keynote over the last year

The big four technology companies - Google, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft - are accelerating their pursuit of the healthcare market as they begin to refine their strategies for certain corners of the ecosystem. US healthcare players are forced to shift their digital transformation efforts online and Amazon, Google, Apple and Microsoft lend their data and technological expertise to become attractive players in healthcare. This comes as health organizations are struggling with an increasingly sicker population, higher costs, and changing consumer demands for faster and more convenient services.

Key points in the presentation:

1) Provide an overview of Google, Amazon, Apple' and Microsoft's most prominent healthcare projects and plans.

2) Highlight the persistent gaps in the US healthcare system that provide Big Tech and their cutting-edge technologies with entryways into the industry.

3) Identify the incumbent healthcare players that will benefit from and be threatened by big tech companies' foray into healthcare.

4) Outline the barriers that are still in place that are stifling tech giants' dive into the health space.
