Despite its reputation of excellence, the health care sector in the U.S. is plagued with high costs, unequal access, and poor quality of care. This predicament continues to significantly impact our economy as productivity in our health care system drops. To change this downward trajectory, the pace of innovation and entrepreneurship in health care must dramatically increase.
To achieve this, we must alter how we educate future health care providers and leaders and futurize health care by leveraging digital technologies, data, artificial intelligence, and mixed reality to address the cost, access, disparities, and quality challenges that we face in health care.
