Episode 16: Meet the Medical Consumer with Alan Foreman of B-Secur
Medical hardware companies are adopting consumer approaches to data sharing and visualization. Consumer product companies are implementing medical-grade technology. Are these two industries headed for a collision or a convergence? And who exactly is the “medical consumer” that will benefit from this convergence?

Where’s the line between wellness monitoring and invasive surveillance? And can consumer companies stick the landing as they transition into healthcare?
