‘More Amazon and less pharmacy’
HEALTH TECH

The Covid-19 pandemic has ushered in a new era of medicine. More care than ever before is being delivered virtually.
All the while, tools that were being deployed before the pandemic have continued to advance at a rapid clip. Researchers are turning to artificial intelligence to do everything from catch breast cancer to predict which hospitalized patients will deteriorate.
The cloud is continuing to transform how health care data is stored, shared, and mined for insights. Technologies like continuous glucose monitoring are changing the way that a growing number of people manage their diseases. All face hurdles and pressing questions as they are adopted more broadly.
Consumers can add medical tests and prescriptions to an online cart and have them speedily delivered directly to their homes. New technologies can monitor cases of infection in a city and warn of a coming surge.
For all the progress on Covid-19, we are still far from a post-pandemic world.
“If a forest is on fire, it doesn’t matter where in the forest, we are all in that forest, and the only way we’re going to get out of it is to soak the fire everywhere we can”
