Invent: Health

Trust in healthcare is one of the highest for any industry, but it’s a different story for the technology sector. People will inherently trust their doctor, but social media, or medical advice from the internet? Much less so. 

But as healthcare and technology become ever more entwined, how do those designing healthcare’s digital products ensure those using them will trust them? What will the consequences of falling trust in technology mean for health tech? 

And what does it take to make you trust someone in general? 

In this episode of Invent: Health, we speak with Dan Lock from TTP and Jordan Abdi from Picnic Health, to unlock the principles of trust and find a paradigm for what this will look like in the future of healthcare.
