Andy Wilkins – Future of Health

By Gordon Fong

My chat with Andy Wilkins was just as interesting after the interview as it was during.

The details and warning about the healthcare system and our approach, shows how big a problem it is, and as always, it means there is an opportunity too. Systems innovation could help bring a change because the financial and structural burden on the NHS will become unsustainable.

I saw a Patient Ecosystem Mapping brochure and when you opened it up, the document talked about various stages that someone could find themselves along the medical treatment journey of 1 to 5. There is a stage 0, and that’s where time and effort needs to be spent on to reduce the future dependencies of stages 1 to 5.

I really enjoyed the time I was able to spend with Andy. It has started off some thought processes that I will develop and share.

On my drive back from another event this week I listened to this podcast that incidentally covers many of the same areas. From the Disruptive Innovators podcast by David Wright.
