We need to shift the healthcare focus to preventative
<center>https://mentormarket.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Preventive-healthcare.jpg</center> <br/><h3><a href="http://theconversation.com/to-create-a-sustainable-nhs-we-must-urgently-invest-in-cutting-edge-technology-121201"><strong>We need
to shift the healthcare focus to preventative (The Conversation)</strong></a></h3>
<ul><li>On the 22<sup>nd</sup> July, in the last days of the May government in theUK, <strong>a green discussion paper was released on preventative healthcare.</strong> The report highlights the long term risk to health budgets if the emerging      (&amp; in some cases already emerged) <strong>life style risk factors (smoking, obesity, diabetes etc.) are not addressed</strong></li><li>The report flags some of the recent successes, including the reduction in smoking (its now down to fewer than 1 in 6 of the adult population)</li><li>But, it also highlights some of the risk factors we are yet to find solutions to – of which <strong>the biggest is obesity (especially in children)</strong></li><li>The report goes on to discuss the <strong>increasingly important role that technology will play</strong> in helping to solve these problems, obviously not on their own but as part of a wider shift in healthcare priorities</li><li>The article also highlights that <strong>only 5% of UK NHS spending</strong> (which is the bulk of the governments healthcare budget) goes on preventative medicine.</li></ul>
<h3>Analysis and Comments</h3>
<ul><li>This report and the related article <strong>picks up two very important issues in healthcare</strong> – that we think will have material impacts for investors.</li><li>Much of what we see in the industry around innovation is about <strong>better ways  of doing the same thing</strong> (better heart valves, improved drugs etc). This is in of itself a good thing, but its not enough if innovation is really to make a difference to <strong>long term health outcomes</strong></li><li>This article also picks up on the <strong>second important issue, institutional change</strong>. Across Europe much of our healthcare industry is driven by government spending &amp; priorities. In such an environment, <strong>switching      to preventative healthcare is tough</strong> as it does not really contribute to achieving short (or in some cases even medium) term goals.</li><li>The article picks out a number of areas where <strong>current technology, properly applied, could make a difference to longer term health outcomes.</strong> Inaddition, just yesterday, there were reports out <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/alphabets-ai-predict-kidney-disease/">can Google predict kidney disease</a>, that suggest AI could be used to help identify those hospital patients that are at a <strong>high risk of developing kidney related complications. </strong>The current trial at the Royal London Free Hospital, seems to have gone well <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-49178891">kidney app a life saver</a>.</li><li>These technological advancements to really gain traction <strong>need a shift in emphasis among politicians</strong>, who set government healthcare priorities. When that happens we could see an explosion in opportunity for European healthcare companies. </li></ul>

I noticed that lifestyle tracking such as step counters, diet trackers combined with daily reminders throughout the day about your activity helps a lot.  

For example, I have a reminder on my watch that tells me I have to drink water, it reminds me every few hours. 

With a bit of extra effort, one can track their diet and nutrients. For example, I have an app that would suggest me foods depending on what I ate so far. 

Sleep tracking app that tells you how many hours you slept and how regular your sleeping times were. 

Tracking is not interesting if you do it for a day or two, but gets interesting if you do it for weeks and start to notice patterns and the app recommends you better behaviour. 

Carefully planned reminders and trackers can go a long way.

Succinct and pertinent. Nice. It is my thinking that preventive healthcare will continue to be avoided as long as it is seen as taking money away from the players in the healthcare industry. After all, someone who doesn't have (type 2) diabetes (presumably because that individual has a healthy, self-aware lifestyle that involves eating well, getting plenty of exercise, and avoiding nasty habits such as smoking) isn't going to buy a heckuva lot of insulin. And goodness gracious, if everyone kept him- or herself in top physical condition, what would all those poor insurance leviathans do for kicks? Can't refuse coverage to someone who doesn't ask for it.

Amen to that !
I loved the tone of your comment, quite sarcastic as I like it :D.
Let's be healthy people ! Unfortunately, genetic is not helping. As with medical progress, people with disease such as diabètes live longer, procreate then give their potential daibetic gene to their children.
But we will find a way to cure it soon I hope :D.

@vlemon, In my opinion due to fast paced life people are not understanding what they are consuming and how it's affecting their health. It's individual responsibility to take care about their goodness and with that governments should spread awareness too. Stay blessed.

Preventive is great, but as long as people/corporations can make more money from sick people, I'm not sure the masses will get to enjoy it.

That is a really sad fact about the preventing medication budget in the nhs I hope we can change that! Unfortunately pharmaceutical companies probably make money from temporary medicines for the rest of your life
