This article is one more in a series I call Everything Transformed where I’m highlighting the disruptive forces revolutionizing just about every industry on the planet, including packaging, travel and hospitality, industrial safety, and more. This time it’s healthcare.

It’s no secret. The healthcare industry is going through massive disruption. To some, it’s not fast enough. To others, it’s been too much too fast. Whatever your stance, it’s fair to say healthcare is broken. $3.5 Trillion was spent on healthcare in 2018, roughly 18% of the country’s GDP. Despite this giant investment, the Commonwealth Fund ranked the U.S. dead last in a study of 11 developed nations when ranking the performance of our healthcare system.
