The future awakens

Life sciences and health care predictions 2022


Prediction in 2022, individuals are better informed about their generic profile, the diseases they have or might develop, and the effectiveness of health interventions. They are more engaged in improving their own health, and their expectations of healthcare for themselves and their loved ones are high.

The 'quantified self' has embraced prevention and is devoting time, energy and money to staying healthy, including using regulated and validated health apps and wearables. When ill, patients demand specific treatments and are also willing, in part, to pay. Patients are true consumers; they understand they have options and use information and data about themselves and providers to get the best treatment at a time, place and cost convenient to them.

Wearables now operate silently, but powerfully, in the background. They are proactive and pre-emptive, rather than simply a monitor. The adoption of technology and reablement services are keeping people connected and active and helping to reduce the cost of health care.
