Healthcare

BioTrillion believes Healthcare should be viewed from the Consumer's perspective across 3 key temporal phases of the health continuum: “Prevention,” “Detection,” and “Intervention.”

Our traditional Healthcare industry is largely concentrated in the post-symptomatic "Intervention" phase, with services and products oriented around diagnostics and therapeutics.

We spend less than 1% of our time in a Medical setting, yet 99% of health “solutions” exist there. Consumers lack solutions for the Detection phase of the health continuum — between Disease Origination and Symptoms.

Healthcare has focused for hundreds of years on the latest phase of the health continuum – "Intervention."

More recently, a "consumerization" of healthcare has begun to accelerate, while also creating a plethora of fuzzy wellness solutions aimed at mitigating pre-disease risks, which largely apply to the "Prevention" phase.

We believe the next evolution of Consumer Health Technology innovations will expand from "Prevention" into "Detection" – that long gestational phase when a disease may no longer be technically "preventable," but is still in its earliest pre-symptomatic stages to be early "detectable," and thus optimally "intervenable."

For centuries, much of healthcare has been confined to a Medical setting – creating physical barriers + narrow time windows – impeding scalability and timeliness.

We spend <1% of our time in a Medical setting, yet somehow expect that measures of diseases from it will lead to enhanced outcomes.

While Providers have access to clinical diagnostic tools and tremendous medical experience, their utility will be fundamentally limited when confined to intermittent moments in time. In such cases, the Consumer's advantage is access to the 99% "observation window" outside of a Medical setting – from the Life setting – yet we continue to lack "Effective" (frequent, objective, quantitative) and "Scalable" (convenient, affordable, accessible) solutions to measure the signs of potential diseases.

No one will have a greater interest in your health than you.

For most of our healthcare, we depend too much on Providers who often have hundreds of Patients and Payers who often have millions of Patients. Providers and Payers are crucial to the system, but should they always be required to access even basic insights into our individual health status?

Payers possess the financial resources needed to access Providers, and Providers possess the tools and clinical knowledge needed to provide healthcare; yet, Patients have remained at the periphery of this paradigm with limited alternatives.

Health"cash" or Health"care"?

Superior health technologies alone are not enough for novel innovations to make its way to the Consumer. Innovators must be practical about the brutal realities of Healthcare-as-a-Business.

At the micro-level, innovator value propositions must find a way to reconcile conflicting stakeholder incentives and interests by improving time and cost inefficiencies in the drug development process (Pharma), catalyzing earlier clinical diagnoses and interventions, which can lead to savings in treatment costs (Payors), and more time-effectively augmenting clinical decision or triage-making abilities through individualized data-driven analytics (Providers), all while improving quality of life and longevity outcomes for patients.

At the macro-level, fortunately, a societal shift toward paying-for-outcomes is beginning to occur in conjunction with innovative health technology advancements. However, for the near future, business innovation will also be required in order to incentivize broad adoption and participation from key stakeholders – Pharma, Payors, Providers – for health solutions to maximally reach the Consumer and yield net better health outcomes.

Afterall, no one can "care" more for your own health than you.

We are currently at the nexus of multiple disruptive technological and societal changes that have enabled BioTrillion’s innovations to be realizable.

Enabling Technologies and Evolving Societies

Society is already demonstrating desires for convenience and independence from gatekept paradigms. These same shifts are now increasingly applying to the Healthcare industry, serving as tailwinds for BioTrillion’s innovatively bold mission to advance Healthcare – scalably.

Evolution has spent thousands of years developing the human body as the most complex machine ever engineered. Ironically, we now require human-engineered machines to reverse engineer the human body.

Biological systems can be broken down into an engineering science, such as Bioengineering, but understanding that complexity is fundamentally limited by the human brain itself. Biology is too complex, non-linear, and interconnected to reverse engineer by human minds alone. It requires more complex machines – computers – to augment our human abilities.

”We so often think of Healthcare as an industry that we tend to forget about Healthcare as a purpose.”
