Good morning! This is the tech news you need to know this Wednesday.

  1. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg leaned into his vision of privacy at the company's annual developer conference, which kicked off on Tuesday. This revolves around six core principles: private interactions, encryption, reduced permanence, interoperability, and secure data storage. 
  2. An explosive report from Bloomberg claimed that Vodafone Italy found flaws in Huawei's fixed-access network equipment and its home routers that looked like backdoors. Vodafone disputed Bloomberg's characterisation of events and said the vulnerabilities had been resolved.
  3. Investors cheered Tuesday after Apple's latest quarterly results surpassed the low bar Wall Street had set. The tech giant's fiscal second-quarter revenue — including that from its all-important iPhone line — fell from the same period a year earlier, as did its earnings but the results topped analysts' muted expectations.
  4. Apple says products like the Apple Watch and Airpods are doing so well, its wearables business is as big as a Fortune 200 company. Apple reported revenues of $5.1 billion for its Wearables, Home, and Accessories business in the first three months of 2019 , which is up from $3.9 billion in the same period of 2018.
  5. Google spent $1.2 million last year to protect CEO Sundar Pichai in an 'overall security program' that started months after the YouTube shooting. It represents a doubling in cost.
  6. Facebook is getting one of the biggest face-lifts in its 15-year history. On Tuesday, the California-based tech giant announced a sweeping redesign of the social network — ditching its iconic blue menu bar and replacing it with a cleaner white design, and placing greater-than-ever emphasis on groups.
  7. Facebook is adding a "secret crush" feature to its Facebook Dating tool. It will allow users to discover if they and their friends have mutual crushes on each other.
  8. UiPath has raised $568 million in a Series D round of funding led by Coatue, with participation from Dragoneer, Wellington, Sands Capital, and T. Rowe price, the company announced Tuesday. The round values UiPath at $7 billion, confirming Business Insider's earlier reporting, and likely making it the most valuable artificial intelligence startup in the world.
  9. Just three days into its IPO roadshow, Uber has reportedly already garnered enough demand to sell its full 180 million shares. The ride-hailing giant is expected to net a valuation of up to $90 billion when it prices next week on May 9, the company said in updated regulatory filings.
  10. One of the world's leading thinkers on artificial intelligence says the technology is a bigger menace to human civilization than climate change. Nick Bostrom, an Oxford philosophy professor, told Business Insider: "AI is a bigger threat to human existence than climate change. Climate change is not going to be the biggest change we see this century."

[REPORT] Here are major players and tech trends reshaping the future of healthcare…

Introducing the Digital Health Ecosystem Report...

The major players and tech trends reshaping the future of healthcare…

  The Payments Ecosystem Report
Hi there,

Healthcare was the last remaining industry to hold out against the unstoppable wave of digital disruption that has swept up retail, banking, and media.

But no longer.

Consumer adoption of digital tech, regulatory overhauls, and a shifting reimbursement model are forcing healthcare players' hands.

Digital health innovation is permeating every corner of the healthcare industry, offering market incumbents new opportunities to combat constricting margins, labor shortages, and rising costs.

But digital transformation also poses a threat to slow movers, as new entrants lean on their digital prowess and lack of legacy infrastructure to cut costs and remain nimble. As such, incumbents are turning to acquisitions, partnerships, and new investments to strengthen their digital health services.

The first Digital Health Ecosystem Report from Business Insider Intelligence explores the current healthcare ecosystem, analyzes the industry trends that are driving digital transformation, and forecasts where the industry is headed.

The report outlines the role of each of the industry's major players — including payers, providers, and manufacturers — and how they're affected by healthcare's digital disruption. It also discusses the most transformative digital health technologies and outlines the investment areas that are gaining the most funding to help illuminate the future path of digital healthcare.

Here are some of the key takeaways from The Digital Health Ecosystem:

  • Digital health is at the forefront of transformation in the healthcare industry — both as a driver of and an answer to the challenges industry players are grappling with.

  • All of the industry's major players — including payers, providers, and manufacturers — are affected by healthcare's digital disruption.

  • A confluence of forces induced healthcare's embrace of digital health, including changing consumer expectations, a new and disruptive reimbursement model, and rising healthcare costs.

  • Tech-focused entrants are also breaking into healthcare, acting as catalysts for change and threatening legacy players' bottom lines.

  • Key digital health solutions like EHRs, digital therapeutics, telehealth, AI, wearables, and blockchain are the foundation of the industry's digital awakening.

  • Early evidence that digital health can address many of the industry's myriad challenges has fueled a vibrant US digital health funding market in 2018, with overall funding hitting $6.8 billion at the end of Q3.

In full this report:

  • Details the US healthcare landscape by the role that payers, providers, manufacturers, and distributors play in the healthcare ecosystem

  • Gives an overview of how digital health is enabling incumbents to overcome industry challenges

  • Outlines how tech-focused healthcare entrants are pressuring incumbents and accelerating healthcare's digital transformation

  • Identifies promising digital health funding areas to illustrate what the future of digital health will look like

  • And much more.
