More about the vision and concept.

What I learned about healthcare consumer engagement from the Harlem Globetrotters 🏀: First a bit of context: over the weekend, the family and I watched the Harlem Globetrotters put on a show in Sydney. They put on a great event, and because I’m a healthtech nerd, the whole thing made me realise there is a lot we could learn from the way they have reinvented basketball, and apply it to healthcare consumer engagement. …ok so hear me out. 😅 I have shared my thoughts on this in detail over in the Talking HealthTech community, and I break down the lessons including for healthcare, including: 🤹 Engagement Through Entertainment 📊Simplifying Complex Topics 💪Inspiring Through Representation 🙏🏻Building Community and Loyalty 💰Innovative Business Models If we are going to fix healthcare, we need to think differently. The challenge is out there to anyone creating solutions in health: 🤔 how else can you turn passive users into active participants in their health journeys? If we can do it even a few percent better than we do now, it will absolutely result in better patient outcomes, a more efficient healthcare system, and we might even have a bit of fun in the process. 🙏🏻 THT+ Members can dive into the full article and explore these insights in our online community here: https://lnkd.in/gwvVQxq8

Morally questionable. Ethically scandalous. A dangerous clown show. The PED-friendly #EnhancedGames is so controversial even granting it air time and column inches has divided opinion. And it's likely to be drowned out with the Olympics and Paralympics rightly taking centre stage over the next few weeks. But, like it or not, this concept is gaining traction. And it has some major financial backing to boot. So what could the world's first 'Steroid Olympics' look like? Could 'juicing to the gills' grant former Olympians a second shot at glory? Are the financial rewards worth the reputational risks? And what implications might it have for aspiring athletes and everyday sports fans? Here's my investigation for Men's Health magazine UK – which is, ironically, also in the Olympics Special issue on shelves now. https://lnkd.in/eYcH6Y7x Want a hot take? My initial reaction to the concept was to laugh it off as a Fyre Festival-style publicity stunt but digging deeper there's a lot more at stake. For one former athlete it's seen as a chance to reclaim something missing from their life, to wind back the physiological clock to their prime. For one doctor involved in the project, it's hoped the Games could serve as a vehicle for PEDs to finally be scrutinised and researched properly. And for one backer, it's thought this pro-doping spectacle could lead to scientific breakthroughs that help us train harder, recover faster and live longer. Whatever happens next, it's bound to spark debate. And I'd love to hear your thoughts on the arguments laid out in the feature. #menshealth #olympics #fitnessindustry #performanceenhancingdrugs #cleansport #freelancejournalist #journalism #investigativejournalism
