What’s our vision for the Future of Health? We believe patients could be at the center of the care model. Wellness, prevention, and early diagnoses could exceed treatment-based reactionary care. Empowered, engaged consumers can navigate their own health—defined holistically as an overall state of well-being encompassing physical, mental, social, emotional, financial, and spiritual health. And digital transformation—fueled by interoperable data; open, secure platforms; and innovative technologies—could sustain the entire health ecosystem. Are you ready to embrace this future?

In 2017, Deloitte envisioned and created a 20-year perspective on the Future of Health and its driving forces. The outlook examined the growing impact of radical interoperable data, exponential technologies, and an empowered consumer. Key concepts from the Future of Health entered the industry’s radar, generated interest, and continued to gain momentum. With the pace of change faster than anticipated, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated many aspects of the Future of Health and revealed core realities that require immediate action.

The time is now for life sciences and health care organizations to consider committing to a transformation—one that allows them to benefit from their core competencies while preparing for the new landscape that is quickly emerging.
