This is the second in a series of articles about what I have learned developing and executing the technology strategy at CareSet, where I was the founding CTO.

This is a discussion of what a "Software Stack" is, and how it impacts technology strategy. This is concept that developers tend to be familiar with, but will be new to business people and many clinicians. While developers might have an easier time understanding what a Software Stack is, they might not understand the implications of how these Stacks can impact data in a clinical context.

We also discuss the philosophy that goes along with stacks by focusing on the ideas behind Unix, which is the origin of my preferred Stacks.

Whether you are familiar with the concepts of a Software Stack or not, this article should help you understand their strategic implications in healthcare technology.

This is part of the most expensive part of my website, the strategy content.
