Healthcare 3.0: How Technology Is Driving the Transition to Prosumers, Platforms and Outsurance

Over the coming years, health care will encounter some of the greatest transitions any generation has ever had to face. The convergence of exponential technologies will transform medicine and health care in ways that sounded like science fiction a mere decade ago and dramatically disrupt our very notion of patients, providers, and payers. This book takes a look at how technology is set to elevate patients to prosumers, help migrate care delivery from a pipeline-based approach to a platform-based one, and transform our current insurance-based payment system to an outsurance-based system.
