We are moving from fixing people after they are sick to knowing what they will become sick with and acting accordingly. This creates fundamentally different business models across the health system and massive new business and societal opportunities.</p><p>The interesting thing about this trend is that while it involves so much promise, it also requires societies that have a mature relationship with science and the future. Given some of the recent events throughout the US, it is becoming obvious that other parts of the world will see greater advancements with this megatrend.</p><p>With that in mind, let's dive into the idea of "health reimagined.".
