Tim Cook keeps promising new health features, probably for Apple Watch
The digital health sector should think deeply about what happens next as Apple CEO Tim Cook has again spoken out about his company’s focus on wellness technologies.
Prevention is good for business
Cook talked up Apple’s plans for digital health with IDA Ireland CEO Martin Shanahan. His focus is very much on prevention, above cure – perhaps reflecting the depth of research and the huge burden of proof required before new technologies can truly be declared lifesaving.
“I think you can take that simple idea of having preventive things and find many more areas where technology intersects healthcare, and I think all of our lives would probably be better off for it,” said Cook.
