David Rubin, MD Joins as Advisor to WellApps
Posted by GI Monitor
by We are thrilled to have David Rubin, MD on board as an Advisor to WellApps. When I first met Dr. Rubin last month, I was extremely impressed with his grasp on the potential for interactive health applications. I knew that Dr. Rubin is a very well respected physician who conducts extensive clinical research related to outcomes in inflammatory bowel disease, but I didn’t know how technically savvy he is. Dr. Rubin has 2 iPads! I don’t even have 2 iPads and I develop iOS applications. He also happens to be a great guy and we’re extremely excited to have access to his expertise as we continue development of GI Monitor to improve patient quality-of-life. His bio is below and you can follow him on Twitter @ibdmd
