Doctor Tal Rapke, a father of two high-energy boys, and a trained Australian physician, believes in an interconnected healthcare future, where knowledge is accessible everywhere, where consumers are truly centric to health, where data is interpreted for actionable insights, where patients are treated bespokely as people, and where health innovations focus on the triple aim – better health outcomes, healthcare efficiencies, and improved customer experience of health.
