A Towers Watson survey finds a majority of large U.S. businesses are finding real value in workplace health initiatives, including on-site clinics and telemedicine programs for employees.

A tiny - and inexpensive - device that attaches to a smartphone or tablet's audio jack and can be used to test a blood sample for certain diseases holds great promise.

John Scott, who heads the telemedicine program at University of Washington Medicine, says clinicians are too overwhelmed by data and payers are too conservative to push the industry. So the next killer app or "gee whiz" invention has to come from somewhere else.

The operating system is built for smart home devices, at the same time the healthcare industry is starting to see more and more health devices taking residence in people's homes.

Americans are more focused on their health -- and the data around it -- than ever before.
