	“With three quarters of our annual three trillion dollar healthcare bill spent on preventable chronic conditions, disruptive innovation is essential to improving health and lowering healthcare costs for U.S. consumers. While the healthcare industry today is still largely focused on detection and treatment after the fact, we now have more actionable information than ever about our health to empower prediction, early detection and early intervention. There’s an enormous opportunity to bring our growing wealth of health data about an individual--including biometrics, lab and pharmacy history, wearable device data and more--together in one place. Employers and insurance providers are the gatekeepers to much of this information, and now more than ever they have powerful incentives to make better use of it.” Martin Watson, CEO SeeChange Health Solutions
