Humanizing Healthcare Thru Science

I was getting ready for a presentation last week and thought that the right way to position technology was as “science” that helps to humanize an overly complex healthcare system that overwhelms most people.  In thinking about that, I stumbled upon the UnitedHealthcare concept of “Health in Numbers“.

Another example of this is the WSJ article this morning on using data. The question is how to find the right mix of data to use and understanding what data applies when. Healthcare isn’t like consumer products. People change segments over time. The segment they fit in for adherence is different than the segment they might fit in for retention programs.
