Healthcare has accelerated in its use of innovative technology more than it ever has because of the pandemic response. Delivering healthcare had to overcome the challenge of in-person classic medical delivery. The aggressive tech industry is moving quickly into the health sector, and it's lucrative. 20% of the US's total GDP means there are big opportunities. Some of the biggest challenges are to take this highly regulated industry and move it forward, but I think the opportunity and sheer weight of the financial incentives will continue on a path of fast innovation.
