Five Potent Predictions Reshaping How Consumers Engage Healthcare
FALL 2024 UPDATE
What influenced our latest rating?
At the end of 2023, we had this prediction at “Nailed It.” For now, we’re moving that back a notch. We’re still optimistic about the coming Copernican Consumer, especially given the potential disruption of AI on healthcare. And science and technology keep advancing, whether it’s sleep apnea monitoring with the new Apple Watch or advances in digital twins. But as with all things healthcare, the question is more of a “when” than an “if,” with some key aspects of the consumer-center health world, like the hospital-at-home strategy, slowing a bit. The Copernican Consumer continues to progress, but it’s unclear whether she will arrive fully by 2030.

ORIGINAL PREDICTION
Consumers will become the center of their own health universe more than ever before, enabled by sensors, AI, and other technology, as well as services geared toward empowering them, leading to profound implications for both consumers and healthcare organizations. Potential results could include a dramatic reduction in the need for primary care clinicians, an entirely new sector devoted to personal health management, true precision medicine combined with health management, and more.
