The Institute for the Future Health and Healthcare Forecast Map

By 2020, the population aged 65 or older is projected to reach 55 million, but Medicare’s Hospital

Trust Fund may be insolvent as soon as 2017. Overall health care spending is projected to exceed 20%
of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

What if demands for sustainability require achieving healthy outcomes without harming the environment?

What if new technologies enable us to experience the future effects of present-day behavior choices?
What if self-tracking goes mainstream and shapes research and treatment practices?

Interested in seeing how these ideas could play out?  Click here for the report that describes the endless possiblities for the future.
