The Strategy& Insider Podcast aims to explore some of the most critical future trends and their impacts. Strategy& talks to industry experts and leading practitioners from different sectors. The conversations will make you more familiar with key developments by providing you with insights that really matter.
The first season will tackle some of the most fundamental questions in the healthcare industry.
While technology has quickly transformed how we shop, bank, and travel, it yet has to impact on how we receive healthcare. The adoption of digitally enabled tools for diagnostics, treatment, and management, for example, has been rather modest - especially compared to what is already possible. With the help of digital applications, healthcare will become more and more personalized and seamlessly integrated into everyday life. For biopharma, the future of healthcare poses both opportunities and challenges, particularly with big technology companies being at the forefront of the disruption.
Based on findings of the “Future of Health” study, Strategy& partner Thomas Solbach invited healthcare industry experts including pharma executives, leading academics and medical practitioners to discuss how the healthcare industry is expected to change.
