Striking research advances – from fast, low-cost gene editing in the form of CRISPR to novel biologic therapies – have added important new tools in the fight to diagnose, treat, and prevent disease. Innovative funding models across the risk-sharing spectrum have realigned incentives more naturally across payors, providers, and patients. The adoption of continuous monitoring and remote technology has started to transform the provision of care from an on-premise, reactive discipline to a distributed, preventative one. While much remains to be done – and cost containment in particular has proved a chronic challenge despite enormous investment – these are encouraging advances. In this piece, we wanted to discuss another broad trend that directly impacts how consumers (patients) experience the industry: the increasing consumerization of healthcare
