Headlines of the Future: Understanding the New Health Awareness
Undoubtfully, the COVID-19 pandemic raised our collective awareness of the importance of maintaining everyday health. Also, it accelerated digitalization in many areas – including healthcare – and gave us a foretaste of how digital tools will shape our future.
In this episode of “Headlines of the Future”, we discuss how the future of healthcare will look like – with people using new digital tools like sensors, apps supported by artificial intelligence, and virtual communications to make smarter decisions about their own health and shaping a new path for well-being. As these tools rapidly develop and increase in usage, how will they change healthcare and people’s behavior? What does it mean to take more ownership of your own health?
We talked to Daniel Nathrath, co-founder and CEO of Ada, a digital application to help users manage their own health and well-being, and Dr. Karen Hackney, Head of External Innovation and Partners at the Consumer Health division of Bayer, about how our new health awareness and megatrends like digitalization will shape the future of healthcare.
