What Exponential Change Really Means in Healthcare, with Azeem Azhar

<p>As we say here on The Harry Glorikian Show, technology is changing everything about healthcare works—and the reason we keep talking about it month after month is that the changes are coming much faster than they ever did in the past. Each leap in innovation enables an even bigger leap just one step down the road. Another way of saying this is that technological change today feels <i>exponential</i>. And there’s nobody who can explain exponential change better than today’s guest, Azeem Azhar.</p><p>Azeem produces a widely followed newsletter about technology called Exponential View. And last year he published a book called <i>The Exponential Age: How Accelerating Technology is Transforming Business, Politics, and Society</i>. He has spent his whole career as an entrepreneur, investor, and writer trying to help people understand what’s driving the acceleration of technology — and how we can get better at adapting to it. Azeem argues that most of our social, business, and political institutions evolved for a period of much slower change—so we need to think about how to adapt these institutions to be more nimble. If we do that right, then maybe we can apply the enormous potential of all these new technologies, from computing to genomics, in ways that improve life for everyone.</p><p><strong>Please rate and review The Harry Glorikian Show on Apple Podcasts! </strong>Here's how to do that from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:</p><p><strong>1. </strong>Open the Podcasts app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. </p><p><strong>2. </strong>Navigate to The Harry Glorikian Show podcast.
