How Consumers Will Fix The Healthcare System, Part I

Two weeks ago, my wife and co-practice lead, Jeanne, wrote an article about a topic you don’t see much in the Tech space. It generated a great deal of interest and shares, so we know it resonated with Forbes readers. She listed the several ways we, as a society, have become fatter and less healthy. Jeanne and I will be tag-teaming articles in the Health Consumerization practice at Moor Insights & Strategy and here on Forbes. So I’ll be the first of the two of us to tell you that I don’t think we have a health care problem that can’t be solved. It will be technology, particularly the emerging Human Internet of Things (HIoT), that helps us make meaningful changes. Companies like Apple, Garmin, Fitbit Inc. and Withings are already household names integral to the IoT and HIoT, so it wouldn’t be a stretch to see them arming consumers in the coming revolution in health care delivery.
