Living a longer, healthier life because you are in the Apple ecosystem would be the ultimate moat. https://divinations.substack.com/ ... Sar Haribhakti / @sarthakgh : If you zoom out into the future, and you look back, and ask the question, 'What was Apple's greatest contribution to mankind?' It will be about health. - Tim Cook Great piece by @nbashaw https://twitter.com/... Paul Smalera / @smalera : Apple is betting its future and Tim Cook's legacy on a healthOS https://divinations.substack.com/ ... Kartik / @kartikhelps : “In other words, [health] could be Tim Cook's iPhone.” Another great read by @nbashaw + @robbylit https://divinations.substack.com/ ...

It will be about health.” Amazing article @nbashaw & @robbylit https://divinations.substack.com/ ... Nathan Baschez / @nbashaw : Collab with @robbylit is live, and, if I do say so myself, it's lit! Apple's health strategy is to be the OS for healthcare. Long story short: they're aggregating data from connected devices & integrating it with med records to create a 10x better UX https://divinations.substack.com/ ... Aaron Gotwalt / @gotwalt : Had minor surgery yesterday. All of the monitoring data, procedure details, and medication info are in my Apple Health dashboard already. Tons of value to unlock here. https://divinations.substack.com/ ... Taylor Majewski / @taylormajewski : Very interesting read on Apple's long-term play as a health company, despite the lingering question of whether or not we're all going to get carpal tunnel from our iPhones https://divinations.substack.com/ ...
