The Future of Societal Health
The nature of human health and disease has changed. A hundred years ago, less than 1 in 6 deaths was from chronic disease. Today, nearly 70% of deaths globally are from chronic diseases and they consume the vast majority of our health spending. However, in the same period of time, our societal models for providing healthcare have changed very little in response. A wholly new model, enabled by design, provides us with the best opportunity to address this paradigm shift.
