Humanizing humans...
Current trends in healthcare and other systems focus on developing society and its systems around humans. Humanizing healthcare for example is a high-cited and highly-recommended activity in healthcare research, education and practice. To really center care around humans, maybe we need more focus of humans at ourselves. As easy as this saying flips out of my mouth, and correlates with current trends, it might be easy gain by centering humans around humans.
After only 15 or so years of personal experience in healthcare, either as a patient, student, or professional, or all together, I saw various ways of innovating healthcare coming and passing by. Also, being a paranoid schizophrenic (1), for what the diagnose is worth, I have experienced a lot of thoughts, stress or psychosis, in the field of world improvement. Growing up as a millennial, I have experienced the pressure to innovate the world in various senses, for example regarding climate change, technological advances or space age innovations.
Are we expecting too much of ourselves? Should we look more close to ourselves? Is aiming human-centered care at human nature for example more innovative than high-aiming goals? Simple and easy steps from one human to another may change a lot for the whole planet. Local, by global tools assisted, initiatives, might be "the future" in the coming decade or so (or they might not, let's keep it indecisive and unexpected, as is being human too).
To create more human-centered healthcare, in my opinion, humans need to think of simple aspects of life which are easy to grasp. and watch themselves or each other, for example by focusing on human nature, instead of working our way through the whole system. It may result in healthcare to become more energy-, time- and cost-efficient for individuals, and probably will strengthen the collective of the human race towards a natural and innovative future.
