Decoding Superhuman The Future of Healthcare with Dr. Zayna Khayat
What we really have is a fundamental disequilibrium between the demand for health services by a population that’s growing in size, staying alive longer and accumulating illness and disease and a system that was designed not for that volume and scale and complexity and therefore it can’t meet the demands.
And so, when demand exceeds supply, it's the perfect breeding ground to do things differently
