At the “3 CEOs” session at the Health 2.0 event in Santa Clara, California this week, two CEOs of famously acquired digital health companies, Christine Robins of BodyMedia and Pete Hudson of iTriage-maker Healthagen, talked about their respective mergers. Also, Hudson and Doximity’s Jeff Tangney expounded on recently launched products, while Robins merely hinted at a big move to come.
Hudson, interviewed by health economist Jane Sarasohn-Kahn of Health Populi, said Aetna, which acquired Healthagen in 2011, impressed him from the start by not acting like a traditional insurer.
