Four key challenges facing current Health Care Systems Healthcare is becoming unaffordable. An ever ‐ increasing population is accessing 1 healthcare and with the advent of new technologies healthcare costs are increasing exponentially around the world. We are getting older. The world population continues to grow, while at the same time 2 populations are ageing significantly. Health(care) data are exploding. There is a worldwide trend toward increased 3 generation of data on the health of individuals. However, these data are “in silos”: not interconnected and not used efficiently to improve a person’s health nor population health as a whole. High hurdles to innovation . The various players in health systems do not really have either 4 incentives or enforcement capacity to make rapid change possible. With increasing worldwide movement towards health insurance neither patients nor doctors are directly paying for healthcare and thus have neither incentive nor capacity to reduce costs or create other efficiencies in the system. The insurers and governments paying the bill have relatively weak oversight and poor control mechanisms to keep healthcare consumption at bay. Incentives to reverse this situation by facilitating the development and implementation of innovative healthcare services are hampered by ineffective regulations that are blocking any serious attempt to change the status quo.

Technology itself not sufficient to improve healthcare Increased spending not necessarily leading to improved quality of care • Implementation of over ‐ precise and unnecessary diagnostics – Defensive medicine to avoid liability • Tendency to provide hospital ‐ centric solutions vs in-home solutions • Emphasis on curative care instead of preventive care • Low patient/client involvement and ownership instead of patient empowerment Talent | Innovation | Health Source: The Canada Conference board on Health Spending
AIHT aims to provoke a paradigm shift in thinking about the use of technology in health care Away from standalone technical innovation towards • developing and integrating these innovations into new health services that serve people and populations. With a strong focus on urban health, we shift the emphasis • from healthcare towards healthy living Where possible, move from Randomized Controlled Trials to • Real World Evidence (from efficacy to effectiveness) The key to solving these problems lies in translating and integrating new technologies into health(care) services.
