On this week's episode of The Scoop, Chavez broke down some of the changes that have occurred at the intersection of health and technology due to the global pandemic. For instance, a world in quarantine has breathed new life into the field of telemedicine. He also explained why although he sees bitcoin as "an amazing research project," it doesn't quite qualify as money in his view.
Here are some of the more specific topics featured in the episode:
- The themes and trends emerging in the health technology space that will be salient in a post COVID-19 world
- How the pandemic illuminated the need for resilience in industrial companies and how technology can play a role in reform
- What legislation is needed to reform industries that were hit hard, and how to prepare a more resilient supply chain
- Why the former Wall Streeter and long time tech advocate says bitcoin isn't money
- His view on central bank digital currencies and why stablecoins alone won't do the job of a digital dollar.
