TECH AND... CONSUMER HEALTH


Health, Wealth, & "Techiness": How Consumer-Centric Startups Are Starting to Crack Healthcare



Overview: At this exclusive event series, we host thought-leaders from a specific industry to explore intersections between their field & technology. We discuss how theyve been impacted by the rise of tech, ways theyve adapted & innovated along the way, & what they expect to see in the future.



THIS MONTH: Tech startups have totally transformed the consumer experience across industries like retail (Amazon), transportation (Uber), media (Netflix), financial services (Square), & travel (eg Kayak). Healthcare spending represents 17% of our whole economy, but has seen very few breakout consumer-focused technology companies that have had a positive impact on the users experience. Theres no end of innovation across the industry, & total healthcare venture capital investing is double that of trending areas such as AI investment. So if theres so much going on in the space, why does the average consumer not experience much change? Well dig into the paradoxical tensions between who your "customer" is in digital health, & explore why a new generation of consumer-focused health tech companies are poised to dramatically change your consumers interactions with healthcare.



What Youll Take Away: Gain insight & inspiration & hear first-hand how technology is transforming the healthcare industry. Expand your understanding of todays tech-based world, & fuel your own ideas for the future.



Why It Matters: The omnipresence of technology has rapidly transformed lives over the last decade. Now, its rare to go about a regular day without interacting with tech. Staying ahead of the innovation curve & being able to predict the future of tech in various industries has never been more important - both at work & at play.
