Thought Leaders in Healthcare IT: Force Therapeutics CEO Bronwyn Spira (Part 4)

Sramana Mitra: Is there anything else that I should have asked you?

Bronwyn Spira: One topic is the value of data and how it can spur healthcare on to the next iteration.

Sramana Mitra: Has there been new business for you in the last two months?

Bronwyn Spira: Yes, we’ve been very busy. We actually came out of the market with a complementary offer because we could see that a lot of patients were lingering in no mans’ land. Patients that were scheduled to have surgery were stuck at home. They’re anxious and still in pain. We really have the opportunity in this crisis to bridge that gap with our solution and be the voice of comfort for patients.
