Shaping the Future of Connected Health
Chunka Mui
Futurist and Innovation Advisor @ Future Histories Group | Keynote Speaker and Award-winning Author
I had the privilege of delivering a keynote at the recent Connected Health Conference (CHC) in Boston. CHC is put together by the Personal Connected Health Alliance in partnership with Dr. Joseph Kvedar and his great Connected Health team at Partners Healthcare. It is one of the most thought provoking annual conferences on the future of digital technology enabled health and wellness.
In my presentation, I offered key lessons on how healthcare organizations can better design and stress test their innovation strategies. I also challenged the more than 2,000 industry leaders and change agents in attendance to think bigger about how they could harness digital technologies: to go beyond incremental opportunities and aim for disruptive innovation. How might we, for example, not just utilize technology to better treat sickness and disability (which is noble and necessary) but also increase our efforts on prevention (which currently does not get enough attention)? Here is a video of my presentation on "Shaping the Future of Connected Health."
Thanks to the CHC team for making the video available.

7 年Nice talk! The question is: Should we? Overpopulation crisis is at our door, so should we prevent one of the few population control methods that the human race has? Maybe it's me, but fully preventing diseases is messing with balance.

7 年Be nice to help some folks in the US for once. I get that it's all the rage to help kids abroad but I live in a county with one stoplight in rural TN and we've never seen a penny of all that money made by US companies shipped out of here!

7 年The answer is no, here is why: diseases are amongst any mammal population, the biggest on this planet, people. Now, we still don't have cure to many diseases and conditions to many of commonly found diseases. Others mutate and develop resistance to the existing remedy; therefore, it is a constant battle.
