Eric Newman, MD, former executive at Danville, Pa.-based Geisinger has joined health data company Eon as its chief innovation officer, according to a June 28 press release.
Dr. Newman spent 35 years of his career at Geisnger, serving as director of quality and innovation at its medicine institute. He came out of retirement to join the Eon team.
Eon is a health data science company that aims to identify and manage patients with previously unknown diagnoses that are found incidentally. It uses computational linguistics and care management to do so.
"In all of my years of experience and research, I finally feel there is a solution to the broken system I have spent my life trying to rectify," Dr. Newman said.
