At deFrost* 43, Kit Macgillivray investigates new digital models that will positively shift and transform the medical industry into a more empowering, connected and patient-centric experience.
The healthcare industry has exponentially grown in the past years. From nanotechnology, revolutionary surgery techniques to frictionless remote monitoring and data collection. But while medical innovation evolves at an unmatched speed, the healthcare system and the relationship between patient, professional and provider, has been extremely slow to change and leverage technology and data. So what does this mean for the future of healthcare?
Join experience designer and strategist Kit Macgillivray from Frost*collective and Brook.ai diabetes startup, as he reflects on some of the challenges and opportunities the healthcare system is currently facing. Come and learn how new digital models can positively shift and transform the industry into a more empowering, connected and patient-centric experience.
Kit Macgillivray is a product and experience designer and strategist. He has spent his career working internationally across a diverse range of sectors and clients, from telcos to media to tech startups.
