Important Announcements
My goal has always been constant. It is to challenge the conventional coverage and access arguments we hear in healthcare.
I want to take this time to note that I will now be offering consulting services exclusively in A.I. healthcare for clients. I figured after 60+ editions that now is the time to start monetizing my knowledge. Do not worry the newsletter will remain free. Please direct message me for more information.
I will also be providing my thoughts and analyses to paid subscribers on the "AI Healthcare Substack". There will be more details to follow.
