How Home Health Tech Can Solve a Stubborn $290 Billion Health Care Challenge

The good news on the medical front is that with advances in therapy, people with chronic diseases are able to remain in their homes and even live active lifestyles, which improves their quality of life and can save them, the government (Medicaid/Medicaid), and the insurance industry money.

Michael Sheeley, Co-founder & CEO of Nurse-1-1

I met Mark Cuban once. Our conversation didn’t last very long. It was at a medical conference a few years ago. Cuban felt like a great guy to approach with an idea for a healthcare startup. We were both investors in an automation software startup called Zoba, and I of course knew him from his role on the popular entrepreneurial reality TV series Shark Tank. A few seconds into our conversation, Cuban paused. “Healthcare is hard,” he sighed. That was his way of politely telling me: for that
