## Resource

July marks five years of The Heart of Healthcare, and we're grateful for every listener who's tuned in. If you've enjoyed the show, please show your love by leaving us a review! This month, Steve and Halle take stock of an industry where capital is concentrating, incumbents are making big bets, AI is moving from promise to early proof points, and a public health crisis is quietly building in the background. We cover: The digital health funding numbers that just dropped, and what they reveal about where the money is really going A $12 billion deal that has the RCM world buzzing The Nature study that has clinical AI companies on edge A new entrant into medical imaging that nobody saw coming The public health crisis that sports betting built, and why healthcare isn't talking about it enough Early data out of Utah that could change how we think about AI in clinical settings Links: IPO Watch List: https://halletecco.substack.com/p/the-digital-health-ipo-watchlist Ensemble Health / Thoreau deal: https://hitconsultant.net/2026/06/18/thoreau-makes-strategic-investment-in-ensemble-health/ Nature Medicine AI study: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-026-04431-5 Midjourney Medical: https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/952011/midjourney-medical-ai-ultrasound-scan Doctronic pilot outcomes: https://commerce.utah.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Doctronic-Outcomes-May-2026.pdf —  📍 Connect with us: Heart of Healthcare website LinkedIn YouTube   See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
