Kleiner Perkins partner Mary Meeker updated her Internet Trends 2012 report this week.
If you feel like you can’t keep up with the current rate of change, brace yourself. Clicking through Meeker’s re-imagination slides makes you realize how much the ground has shifted and how much more change is on the way. Scroll down to see her slides.
The report covers:
- Basic stats about Internet and mobile growth
- Re-imagination of everything
- The asset-light generation
- USA, Inc.
The re-imagination section covers everything from door locks to product development to education. She calls out the wallet, education and healthcare as three targets ripe for reformation.
With the Rise of AI, What IP Disputes in Healthcare Are Likely to Emerge?
Munck Wilson Mandala Partner Greg Howison shared his perspective on some of the legal ramifications around AI, IP, connected devices and the data they generate, in response to emailed questions.
She also illustrates how young people are trading stacks of albums for the cloud and full-time jobs for freelance work (more by necessity than choice for some).
What would healthcare look like if it were revamped to fit the asset-light generation?
From the patient’s perspective, everything would have to be mobile, accessible and convenient:
- All healthcare records in the cloud
- Insurance from exchanges, not from employers
- Prices would be transparent
- Control of personal health data via privacy settings similar to those on Facebook
A Personalized Approach to Medication Nonadherence
At the Abarca Forward conference earlier this year, George Van Antwerp, managing director at Deloitte, discussed how social determinants of health and a personalized member experience can improve medication adherence and health outcomes.
What would this mean for hospitals?
- Smaller campuses and more rental space in malls and big-box stores
- More space dedicated to telemedicine
- More mobile units to take care to individuals
- Fewer specialists as the talent-as-a-service trend comes to healthcare
What else needs to change? Share your suggestions and I’ll update the post with new, good ideas from the discussion.
