if you found the EDGE-INSIGHTS Book helpful, you might want to also take a look at the video gallery. Here we have released a series of short videos (and podcasts) unpacking the thinking behind each of the insights shared in the book (26 in total)
EDGE-INSIGHTS Book (v1)
BACKGROUND
Throughout the spring of 2016, FIRSTEP worked with TELUS HEALTH INNOVATIONS to host DeepDive into the disruptive forces shaping health (this DeepDive included a sub-theme on pharmacogenomics). As with all of our DeepDives, this project included numerous immersive sessions where both enterprise leaders and edge-innovators explored their foundational thinking about how the key forces are most likely to unfold.
Beats, Beat AI
A very interesting article from the Verge (if you happen to have a passion for both music and AI... and who doesn’t?) The main take-away for me, was a very clear glimpse into the boundary between human and artificial intelligence. Spoiler alert – there are some things that computers simply can’t do, but when you give skilled humans the right AI tools, you create a potent force (I suspect we’ll see a lot of that in the digital health world).

One of the key insights from one of our recent Cohorts, focused on digital health, is related to a simple notion... in a digital health world, everything revolves around individual 'Health Job'
THINK EXPONENTIALLY
We often provide this post as suggested reading for all of the innovators and entrepreneurs that participate in FIRSTEP Cohorts, so it only seemed fair to share it here (highly recommended for anyone trying to thrive in a fast moving space)
