  3. INNOVATION 2019

    Healthcare’s ‘innovation index’ is off the charts. The variety and velocity of innovation sweeping across the healthcare landscape is unprecedented. Often categorized under ‘digital health’ with companies or solutions labeled HlthTech, MedTech, FinTech or InsurTech, we are seeking a broad range of innovative approaches to: reduce health expenditures, improve quality of life, introduce infrastructure efficiencies, increase individual productivity, manage chronic conditions, and extend life expectancy.

    Both startups and established companies alike are seeking to leverage technology to empower consumers. Investment in digital health startups surged in 2018, hitting $6.8 billion by the end of the third quarter, already surpassing 2017’s yearlong total of $5.7 billion. Innovators are breaking down barriers with wearables, blockchain, artificial intelligence/AI, ‘Big Data’, Internet of Things, augmented and virtual reality, voice technology, and precision medicine.

    Consumers are adopting and using technology to take ownership of their health, making it easier to self-diagnose a condition or symptom, change a health habit or behavior to reach a goal, enable compliance with a course of treatment, and interact with their community of care providers. They’re seeing the value of ‘innovation with a purpose’ – solutions that empower, inform, instruct, track, guide, or remind healthcare consumers.

    For healthcare companies, innovation isn’t just a substitute for a brand narrative or value proposition, it’s a means to an end. Led by entrepreneurs and risk-takers these companies are making stunning advances in cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, population health, and wellness. Simply stating ’we are an innovative company’ won’t cut it. The storyline has to read…we are an innovative company that delivers value to our customers, improves health outcomes and does it in a way that changes the way health care is delivered.
