Health2049
HOW CAN WE DESIGN EQUITY, ACCESSIBILITY, AND TRANSPARENCY INTO OUR HEALTH CARE FUTURE?
Massive Change Network applies our unique life-centered design approach to exploring complex challenges like health care. For the Health2049 podcast, founding partners and co-hosts Bisi Williams, co-founder of Massive Change Network, and Jason Helgerson, founder of Helgerson Solutions Group (HSG), ambitiously set out to explore compassion as the new face of health care in the year 2049. In this groundbreaking podcast, they engage top thought leaders across industries in lively discussions to provide incredible insights on the future of health care.
Our current healthcare system has struggled bravely, but over the decades has failed to evolve. It’s an inefficient, one-size-fits-all system that’s ripe for disruption. But, for many of us, it may seem too confusing and too overwhelming to imagine a different system.
Harnessing the power of art, science, and technology, Bisi, Jason, and Health2049 guests discuss what is possible, so we can all imagine a better future. The guests draw on their expertise and experience to share strategies and real world applications for a redesigned health and wellness system.
These conversations stir curiosity and imagination. Big, innovative ideas shift perception and empower us to be a part of the solution. Instead of being complacent or waiting for someone else to do something, Health2049 provides a platform where remarkable change can happen. Excellence in health care should not be the exception; it should be the norm.
