Unscramble the Blue Letters


Many of these technologies, speaking as a physician and innovator, we can start to leverage, to impact the future of our own health and of health care, and to address many of the major clgeenhlas in health care today, rignang from the exponential cotss to the aging population, the way we really don't use information very well today, the fetmaianrotgn of care and the often very difficult course of atipdoon of innovation. And one of the major things we can do is move the curve to the left. We spend most of our money on the last 20 percent of life. What if we could incentivize pisihcayns in the hetalh care system and our own selves to move the curve to the left and improve our health, leveraging technology as well? Now my favorite example of etxoapneinl technology, we all have in our pocket. If you think about it, these are really daimatrclaly improving. I mean, this is the iPhone 4. Imagine what the iPhone 8 will be able to do.

Original Text


Many of these technologies, speaking as a physician and innovator, we can start to leverage, to impact the future of our own health and of health care, and to address many of the major challenges in health care today, ranging from the exponential costs to the aging population, the way we really don't use information very well today, the fragmentation of care and the often very difficult course of adoption of innovation. And one of the major things we can do is move the curve to the left. We spend most of our money on the last 20 percent of life. What if we could incentivize physicians in the health care system and our own selves to move the curve to the left and improve our health, leveraging technology as well? Now my favorite example of exponential technology, we all have in our pocket. If you think about it, these are really dramatically improving. I mean, this is the iPhone 4. Imagine what the iPhone 8 will be able to do.
