In an interview with CNET News.com, Louis Burns, who manages Intel's Digital Health Group, makes a point about the tech industry's funding priorities, which he's hoping will shift.

You have to be patient and listen to understand the issues, but we think the opportunity is huge." Click here for the full interview.
