Using Prevention to Improve Global Health
Ed Greissing, Michiel Bakker, Tom Beauregard, Lynn Goldman, Christopher Murray
Experts and industry leaders converge to address the $3.7 trillion U.S. healthcare crisis driven by chronic disease, highlighting how linguistic framing and financial incentives can bridge the gap between prevention spending and actual consumer adoption. Innovators like UnitedHealth Group and Google demonstrate that rebranding medical programs, offering free nutrition, and utilizing digital health tools significantly improve engagement rates and metabolic outcomes among millions of participants. Despite rising global obesity and a bifurcation in U.S. mortality trends that threaten long-term economic stability, the consensus points toward a future where healthcare reimbursement and corporate strategy shift from treating acute illness to scaling early, lifestyle-based interventions.

Getting Our Health Priorities in Order: Prevention, Research, and Treatment
Ed Greissing, Katie Couric, Mark Alles, Tom Beauregard, Linda Fried, Eric Lefkofsky, Jim Robinson
Addressing a critical misalignment where preventive social factors drive 70% of health outcomes despite comprising only 5% of spending, industry leaders from UnitedHealth, Celgene, and Tempus are pivoting toward virtual prevention and genomic data integration. Innovations such as Project Not Me, early-stage biological interception, and million-fold reductions in sequencing costs aim to overcome regulatory friction and treat diseases before they manifest, as demonstrated by UnitedHealth's prenatal care model that reduced preterm births by 30%. The panel concludes that immediate progress requires interoperable data platforms to replace siloed systems, enabling the digital infrastructure necessary to close the nine-year life expectancy gap driven by socioeconomic disparities.
