Health searches account(ed?) for ~8% of the ~185B searches humans do (did?) on Google daily

Google search has been in free fall, with health-related Google search declining fastest

At the same time, health/fitness/beauty comprises ~10% of chatGPT prompts [June 2024 data]

‘paperless office’”

My post of the day (re)framing the future of health & care ...

This one is from my ever-growing dictionary for the new lexicon for health in the 21st century

These 3 terms live at the intersection of voice & sound as a digital biomarker/phenotype + AI + medicine

Both were set up slides to keynotes at WHX Tech in Dubai in Sept

Finally back on @bsky.app

Will try to post interesting reframes related to the future of health(care) as often as I can.

Starting with these recent frames of the supply-demand imbalance

2day we convene the leadership of the aged care sector in Ontario @ Deloitte 🟢

80% people age >80 can self manage @ 🏡 w/supports

Yet <13% can access 🏡 care

waitlist for fixed nursing home capacity is at all time high (50K waiting, growing by 5K+)

This is a discussion topic in my health MBA course. Who will be the largest health provider that owns no clinics or docs? Right now I think it is Ping An in China

refreshing to be at a non healthcare conference

At the Capital Unlocked summit - state of the state of how capital is raised, allocated & used to amplify impact on societal gaps

Mind blown on discussion about how AI can/will/should make decisions about 💰 allocation for under-represented founders

Love this reframe of what it will take to truly shift power to unlock philanthropy for the 21st century

Nadia Duguay - exec director of Beati Foundation shares early thoughts on what systemically mourning the power shift in philanthropy looks like
