What's Happening?
Eric Dishman, an Intel Fellow, has highlighted the need for a new healthcare model to address the challenges posed by global aging. With projections indicating that six million people could be over the age of 100 by 2050, Dishman emphasizes the importance of reforming healthcare systems to accommodate this demographic shift. He proposes a model centered around the '4 C's': complexity, coordination, collectivity, and community, which aims to enhance healthcare delivery and outcomes for the aging population.

Why It's Important?
The anticipated increase in the elderly population presents significant challenges for healthcare systems worldwide, including the U.S. Adapting to these changes requires innovative approaches to healthcare delivery, focusing on integrated care and community-based solutions. This shift could drive policy reforms and investments in healthcare infrastructure, impacting industries such as pharmaceuticals, medical technology, and elder care services. Stakeholders, including policymakers, healthcare providers, and technology companies, must collaborate to develop sustainable models that ensure quality care for the aging population.
