Podcast: Using Digital Solutions to Address Technology Shortfalls with Citius Tech Senior VPs

Technology is everywhere in healthcare, and the list of ways that digital solutions can improve health outcomes and cut costs is endless: technology is used to improve consumer engagement, identify patients who are at risk of events like a heart attack, and increasingly to help different parts of the healthcare system to talk to each other.

But when technology falls short of its promise, it can add costs and burdens for those who use it. The best example might be the electronic health record.

Next-generation digital providers are helping to leverage technology to find the value long promised. Today, DataBook welcomes CitiusTech, a next-generation specialist provider that works with payers, providers, medical technology and life science markets.

In an interview recorded earlier this year, Chief Healthcare Executive Associate Editorial Director Mary Caffrey spoke with 2 leaders of Citius Tech about meeting healthcare challenges with digital solutions. Her guests are Sridhar Turaga, the senior vice president for Digital Innovation & Data Science, and Shyam Manoj Karunakaran, who is senior vice president and market head for Health Plans.

In June, after this interview was recorded, Citius Tech announced an acquisition of SDLC Partners of Pittsburgh, expanding its footprint in the payer solutions space.
