HEALTHCARE 3.0: HOW TECHNOLOGY IS DRIVING THE TRANSITION TO PROSUMERS, PLATFORMS, AND OUTSURANCE

Over the coming decades, humanity will encounter some of the greatest transitions any generation has ever had to face. Technological disruption is reshaping every part of our lives… every business, every industry, every society, even what it means to be “human”…..Exponential technologies are on the cusp of solving some of humanity’s biggest challenges and healthcare is set to be one of the chief beneficiaries.

We are already in the midst of this medical revolution driven by the convergence of exponential hardware, software, communication and biomedical technologies. There has never been a better time to resolve the cost, quality and access challenges that have plagued healthcare for the last few decades In this interactive and animated keynote littered with real-time demonstrations, Pillay explores some of the key exponential technologies that are set to impact healthcare, including Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, 3D Printing, Sensor Technology, AR/VR and the “Omics” including genomics. The solutions to the world’s most pressing health and healthcare challenges lie in the intersection of these exponential technologies. When two or more of these technologies are used in combination – converging exponential technologies – we will begin to unlock unfathomably productive capabilities and begin to understand how to solve the world’s most challenging problems. The golden thread that runs through the presentation is Pillay’s succinct explanation of how the convergence of these technologies is set to transform patients to prosumers (producers of care), current pipeline approaches to care delivery systems to platform-based systems and finally a payment transformation from the current insurance-based approach to an outsurance (getting paid to maintain health) based approach.

Digital Health Transformation: A Value-Driven Journey

In his keynote, Dr. Rubin Pillay discusses the urgent need for digital transformation in healthcare, a sector facing critical challenges such as rising costs, estimated at $1.8 trillion in wasteful spending, a projected shortage of over 10 million healthcare workers by 2030, the growing burden of chronic diseases, and stark disparities in outcomes and access to care globally. He highlights that while there is significant innovation in the market, with leading healthcare systems beginning to digitize the patient journey and backend processes, the transformative impact of digital tools, data, and AI on healthcare systems is yet to be fully realized.

Dr. Pillay emphasizes the importance of focusing on digital applications that can genuinely improve patient outcomes, advocating for a value-driven approach to healthcare. This approach heavily relies on data and analytics to measure patient outcomes and cost drivers, marking a shift towards value-based healthcare. He notes the accelerating role of digital transformation, data, and AI in this transition.

To unleash the full potential of digital, data, and AI in healthcare, Dr. Pillay urges stakeholders - including patients, providers, payers, medtech and pharma companies, investors, regulators, digital start-ups, and big tech firms - to collaborate and focus on five key enablers: effective use of health data, robust tech and analytics foundations, suitable funding and incentives, hybrid healthcare delivery systems, and appropriate regulations and policies.

Dr. Pillay also sees digital health as an opportunity for the private sector to invest in businesses that significantly improve health outcomes. However, scaling up these benefits remains a challenge. He advocates for a collaborative approach between the public and private sectors, to expedite the impact of digital, data, and AI in healthcare. He proposes alliances between public and private entities to enhance health outcomes and healthcare resource efficiencies by pursuing two key strategies: establishing Insights Exchanges to share knowledge on scaling digital solutions and forming Activators for multistakeholder action groups to address priority healthcare system challenges.
