share knowledge and further the discussion around the evolving digital health space.

Adverse drug
reactions cause
1.9 million
hospitalizations
each year
Most consumers do
not understand how
the healthcare
system works
70% of
consumers are
not satisfied with
levels of patient-
centered care
Most
physicians
spend less than
20 minutes with
their patients
Patients get more
information from
the internet than

As consumers, we need to
be outraged by the lack of
personalization in the system,
and we need to strive to
transform healthcare.

BARRIERS‣ Breadth and depth of healthcare
problems makes mass customization challenging
‣ Misalignment of incentives leads to
disempowerment of consumer
‣ Providers and healthcare organizations may see
consumers as adversaries rather than partners
‣Doctors remain important resources for consumers -
products need to leverage this relationship
The foundation of good health is a trusted
relationship between patient and physician.
