The ONLY key to innovation is people. Brilliant, driven, passionate people who are willing to put politics aside and focus completely and solely on us, human beings.
I don’t have to tell everyone here that our global healthcare system is broken. Completely broken! Incentive systems are broken across the supply chain with complete lack of human-centricity but instead an ICD code for billing. Aging population, who are living longer due to advancements in evidence-based approach to medicine complemented by the ever-accelerating technology cycle and bundled with the younger on-demand population that understands the power of technology & data to heal and extend our lives to be enjoyed with family and loved ones.
Whether it was using leeches to treat infections in 1000BC in Egypt or Louis Pasteur discovering a vaccine against cholera in 1879, we have definitely and significantly improved life expectancy as a society but we need to think and do faster, think and do exponentially to enjoy more precious moments on this planet.
So as you can see — it is back to people! People can fix this but, only people who are open to change, who think exponentially and in exponential organizations, who are open to experimentation & learning , who are open to intense challenges ahead to push the status-quo in order to save or extend a life even if it’s only a day, a month, a year at a time.

With that said, this is a call to all the crazies, to all the citizen scientists, to all the transhumanists, to all artists and poets, to all accountants and lawyers, to all techies and medical practitioners to just focus on their loved ones and focus on one core mission for our society — Open Mind, Science & Technology for a Better life!
