We have all heard the buzzwords. AI, blockchain, tele-everything, tech enabled, robotics, IoT, remote monitoring, wearables, machine learning, BIG DATA… DIGITAL HEALTH. There are probably some that I have missed.

But what does it all mean? What do all these buzzwords amount to? Are they bringing the revolution that many herald as their promise? Do they mean anything to the average patient?

To help us make sense of the emerging world of Digital Health, I am joined today by Dr. Benjamin Schwartz, a powerhouse in the Digital Health Space.

Dr. Schwartz, is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in the surgical and non-surgical treatment of arthritis of the hip and knee including total joint replacement and revision.

Dr. Schwartz is fellowship trained in adult reconstruction of the hip and the knee with over 13 years of experience in private practice.
