We're living through a significant moment in history and healthtech companies are looking at ways they can help with the COVID-19 outbreak. They are sharing learning, partnering and working around the clock to find solutions to the ever-growing list of problems on healthcare's front-line. Two companies that have come together are Q doctor and eConsult who are experts in telemedicine and triage respectively  Both companies have been on the podcast previously (you can hear them on episodes 7 and 21), so in this episode, James dives straight in to hear how their partnership is helping clinicians and patients.

This week's Sunday Session is a somber nod to those healthtech companies working around the clock to help with the COVID-19 pandemic. One such company is Feebris, whose machine learning platform helps triage, diagnose and remotely monitor pneumonia patients in the community. Mentioned this week:
