CNBC:

Apple has quietly scooped up Dr. Sumbul Desai, the executive director of Stanford Medicine’s center for digital health, who led a groundbreaking telemedicine project there and has been overseeing a project to promote health uses for the Apple Watch.

Desai will serve in a senior role at Apple in the growing health team but will continue to see patients at Stanford, said people familiar with the move.

At Stanford, Desai was involved in a number of digital health projects with big tech companies and start-ups, including Apple. At Stanford’s digital health center, she worked with Silicon Valley technology companies to test and develop new tools in collaboration with the university’s medical experts.

Another example of Apple’s “building block” approach. They are slowly but surely putting together a world class team to do…..who knows?
