DNAFit Blog How Covid Has Reshaped The Future Of Health

At the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, many experts in different sectors that intersect the field of health and technology began to ask the crucial question — how will the pandemic change the future of health? This was triggered by the fact that the pandemic itself had forced the sector to evolve rapidly to keep up with stay-home orders and the pressure put on healthcare systems across the globe. This question served to understand how we develop new connected systems and implement policies that can make it possible to safely and effectively provide care to patients from anywhere, reduce the cost to both clinicians and patients and also provide resources that ensure preventative care is at the forefront. Covid-19 proved that it was possible to do all of that, by putting in place systemic shifts that change and challenge the way we think about who, where and how quality medical care is provided and delivered. Although we are still at an early phase of change, the pandemic forced healthcare practitioners and different institutions to start working together to not only reshape the future of health but also to start challenging how we think about it.
