Early Findings

HEALTHCARE DELIVERY MODELSEmerging models on healthcare delivery hinges on technology such as AI, data fusion, and connected systems.
ACCESS SPECIALISTS - VIRTUAL CARE
According to Wyman, one economic scenario in 2030 is delivery of healthcare by access specialists who capitalize on customer relationships. 
These access specialists deliver healthcare through retail clinics or virtual care. 
PERSONALIZED TREATMENT PLANS
Another emerging model in healthcare delivery revolves around personalized treatment plans to improve efficiency of care delivery. 
This will be powered by artificial intelligence (AI) as well as adaptive intelligence. 
TELECONNECTED SERVICES

This model consists of an ecosystem of numerous healthcare players providing smart homes, virtual care centers, smart hospitals and smart insurers. 
HEALTH INSURANCE DELIVERYWyman also predicted that health insurers will be commoditized and competing to offer bottom prices.
Health insurance will be assessed and delivered through online comparative shopping tools.
