“I wake up every day wanting to make health care better,” says Halle Tecco, founder of Rock Health and author of Massively Better Healthcare. Tecco joins Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Jonathan Palmer on this episode of the Vanguards of Health Care podcast to reflect on digital health’s evolution — from her early days at Apple’s App Store to building one of the sector’s first venture funds. She explains why Covid reset adoption curves, how hospitals became leading tech buyers and why aligning “margin and mission” now shapes her investment lens. Tecco also shares lessons from backing a laundry list of well-known startups, teaching at Columbia and Harvard, and why she wrote a book to empower the next wave of innovators.
