Thanks: @chrissyfarr Tweets: Andrew Matzkin / @matzkinhealth : Will be interesting to whether/how AliveCor renews its effort to bridge from consumer to medical after pulling back from an initial move in that direction a couple years ago. IMO, consumer demand is too small in AF monitoring to be the endgame, especially w/ Apple looming. https://twitter.com/... Christina Farr / @chrissyfarr : NEWS: AliveCor has poached a new CEO from Amazon. It's Priya Abani, a director and GM from the Alexa group. Our interview before she takes over the reigns on Monday: https://www.cnbc.com/... Christina Farr / @chrissyfarr : Abani hasn't previously worked in health care, including in her most recent role at Amazon. Like many in tech, she was drawn to the space because of a personal experience. https://www.cnbc.com/... Thanks: @chrissyfarr
