In a new podcast interview Second Life, Sumbul Desai, Apple VP of Health, talks about his career, medicine and more.
That of Sumbul Desai is a face that in recent years we have started to see more and more often at Apple events, especially to share details on the direction taken by Apple in the field of health.
The interview, which lasts approximately 42 minutes, includes a discussion on Desai’s role at Apple and the “multidisciplinary” approach that allows him to continue his work. The former vice president of strategy and innovation at Stanford Medicine goes on to describe it as a mixture of various types of health and medicine, “like a symphony orchestra”. Obviously, the COVID-19 pandemic could not be missing. In fact, Sumbul Desai has been leading Apple’s approach in recent months, especially in education, by posting useful content for users.
With the launch of the Apple Watch, Apple’s attention to health has increased exponentially. The health issue is so significant that it also affected the iOS operating system. Apple CEO Tim Cook has said health will be Apple’s biggest contribution to the world, and maybe he might be right.
