About Vasant Ramaswamy
I founded and run a global lifesciences & healthcare information services company, Scriplogix, from New York. As a team we believe that over the next decade or two, life sciences and healthcare, will undergo radical and discontinuous changes across the spectrum - from the way we think of life and death, to the way we deliver care and track outcomes. We believe that America will be in the forefront of such shifts. Our goal is to help make such change happen.
