Somebody Decides What You Eat and Pays the Bill ?

Healthcare is (was) like going very hungry into a restaurant - the cook decides what you eat and the government decides the menu and pays the bill. But increasingly modern technology will change the way patients will be in control of their destiny. The doctors and patients will be assisted by artificial intelligence to find the right treatment. The quantified self will deliver decision support. Older people will stay longer in their “ambiant assistant living” environment.

A lot of control goes to the customer — the role of the doctor and the insurance system will change — https://rockhealth.com/why-consumers-want-their-health-records/

In the US the shift is already happening fast: https://www.cbinsights.com/blog/health-insurance-corporates-investing-startups/.

We at Earlybird are glad that one of the largest European public Healthinsurance companies became investors in our debut dedicated Earlybird Health Technologies Fund to be part of this journey. We are happy to discuss our findings, ideas upfront with partners — also to find a good ethical balance in using modern (digital) technology in analogue humans.
