Working on Digital Health day to day is mostly small decisions: what to ship, what to defer, what to delete.
Short definition. Digital Health: nutrition, wearables, behavior change, and the engineering behind real adherence.
For Digital Health, the relevant questions are operational. Where does the loop close? What costs more time than money? Where is the audit, and where is the judgment?
How Rami works on Digital Health
Most of what Rami knows about Digital Health comes from shipping into it. Alma sits in the digital health stack alongside wearables, nutrition apps, and behavior-change tools, and PUSH before it was an elite-sports wearable acquired by WHOOP. The rest comes from teaching it — at universities, at AI Tinkerers, and inside founder programs at Antler and Mila — and from writing about it at Action Potential.
