6. • Health is becoming more personalized and focused on individual needs with the
individual taking a larger role:
• This creates new opportunities for solutions around: prevention, maintenance &
cure.
o New & Changing Business models ( how does it get paid?)
• Greater Cost Transparency ( Balancing Quality & price)
• Cure payment done on outcome instead of procedure
• Individuals taking a more active role and investing in their own Wellbeing/Maintenance
• Insurance Companies & Governments begin incentivizing through payment structures for health
behavior (Ex. Oscar new US based health insurer with a market cap already at 1.0 Bio)
• In each case there is greater emphasis on the individual. Services will become
more personalized and focused on the individual & their needs driving greater
competition..
