3) Forbes Healthcare We all know that healthcare systems the world over face the same problem – caring for people who are living longer with more chronic healthcare conditions and mental health issues, all with dwindling resources. As we strive to find solutions, the lines between clinicians, researchers, health insurers and entrepreneurs are becoming blurred.

Doctors and medical professionals with ideas on how to improve patient care are working with business backers and health news sources to make them a reality. Scientists and tech companies are realising the value they offer each other and are working on new, innovating ways to disrupt the status quo while solving some of the systems’ biggest problems.

Forbes Healthcare tells the story of this rapidly transforming landscape through the eyes of the men and women who are driving its scientific breakthroughs and building its unorthodox business models. As healthcare prepares itself for the fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0, it is changing rapidly. AI and machine learning are leading to new screening and public health opportunities all the time, and breakthroughs in areas such as gene and cell therapies could even mean we are witnessing the beginnings of the end of cancer.
