STAT health tech reporter says speed in the sector is a double-edged sword
Erin Brodwin
Erin Brodwin is a San Francisco-based health tech reporter at STAT. Since 2019, she’s covered artificial intelligence in health care, written breaking news about health tech companies and covered wearable technologies and their impact on digital health.
