Episode notes

A hundred years from now, do you believe health care is more likely to cost a billion dollars per person or zero dollars per person? I said in the interview, I think it's more likely to be zero than a billion dollars. Third question: Do you think you're going to see your doctor once a year or once per minute? Well, he says probably once per minute, at least digitally. And so what just happened? In a few simple questions, we start to see that it's likely that the cost of health care will decline. Their health will be assessed minute by minute rather than once or twice per year. That's why healthcare should be a product and not a service.

This week we’re profiling Adrian Aoun, who founded Forward into 2017 to turn healthcare from a service into a product and reach 1B+ people globally. Before founding Forward, Adrian served as the Director of Special Projects for Google CEO Larry Page, founded Sidewalk Labs, and served as an advisor to the White House on the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
