Anticipating the future in healthcare

The key players in the global healthcare ecosystem all have high expectations for the future:  the industry believes that revenues and profits will increase, governments and funders expect more job opportunities and higher standards of welfare delivered at a lower cost, while patients are looking for improved care and treatment methods. However, there are massive challenges to overcome in order to meet these growing demands whilst maintaining affordability. In this article, a guest feature written by Nils Bohlin, Dr Thilo Kaltenbach, Dr Ulrica Sehlstedt and Vikas Kharbanda at Arthur D. Little, the authors discuss why today’s healthcare model is simply not sustainable and why innovation seems to be the only way forward to provide significant opportunities for market participants.
