All eyes are on the future of healthcare – incumbents, investors and start-ups have fixated on how digital technology, artificial intelligence and machine learning can unlock greater healthcare system efficiency, affordability, and quality.
We believe there could be overlooked opportunities in healthcare’s past, however, for example, in alternative medicines. These practices, such as traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Ayurveda from India, and Jamu from Indonesia, represent new sources of value, and inspiration, in an otherwise saturated consumer health market and could form an integral part of the fabric in the goal of improving healthcare access.
