The Future of Healthcare

Every industry is facing change, but none more so than healthcare. Big data, predictive analytics and the consumerisation of healthcare are just a few of the trends affecting the way we will look at healthcare in the future.

For example:

• What if your doctor could e-mail images (like X-rays) to you, instead of you having to go in to pick them up?
• What if heart patients could do an ECG themselves for less than a dollar?
• What if an iPhone app could take a photo of some food and automatically tell you the number of calories in it?

These “what if” scenarios aren’t in the future; they are available right now. I talked about these in my webinar last week.

Even if you don’t work in healthcare, you will find this webinar useful because some of the themes are common across other industries – e.g. consumers taking more control, big data providing smart diagnosis.

After the webinar, I asked participants “What was the most useful thing you learned today?” Here are some of their answers:

“All the coming technology”

“Patients want to connect to technology but healthcare professionals find the practice change difficult”

“The positive take on where we’re going – very refreshing! (sadly…)”

“Increasing use of technology in health care”

“How much more advanced technology already is than I thought!”

“Information in a field I would not normally have accessed”

The Future Proof Webinar Series

This webinar is part of my Future Proof webinar series, which will keep you in touch with our future - what's ahead, what it means for us, and how to stay ahead of the game.

In each webinar, I'll cover an important topic about the future - for example, the shift of power to Asia, the changing workplace, healthcare technology, the shift to customer-centric business, big data, and more. This is not just theory; I'll also give you practical examples and ideas for you to future-proof your organisation, teams, and career.

Here are six compelling reasons to attend the Future Proof webinar series:

1. You'll understand how the Internet is affecting your world, which means you can take advantage of the opportunities and avoid the risks and threats.
2. You'll be consistently getting updates on what has changed, so you don't fall behind.
3. You'll be learning what most of your competitors are not learning, so you get a competitive edge.
4. You get the chance to ask me questions live on the webinar, so you get your questions answered. I won't hold anything back – I'll answer in as much detail as I can in the time available
5. You tap into my 15+ years of experience in helping people understand the future, so you'll learn from real businesses and get practical, relevant ideas.
6. There's some really cool stuff happening! So attend the webinar series and I'll show you what's on the horizon - for both your personal and professional life.

When you register, you'll get automatic e-mail reminders before each webinar, so you don't miss any. You're registering for the entire series, but there's no obligation to attend every webinar (of course).
