The Problem with Traditional Healthcare
- What are the major issues with traditional healthcare?
- Traditional healthcare is often reactive, rather than proactive. By the time we notice symptoms and seek medical help, our condition may have already progressed significantly. This not only leads to more serious health problems, but it’s also more expensive to treat. This is why we need to shift our focus towards preventative healthcare.
- What is the healthcare crisis?
- The healthcare crisis refers to the fact that healthcare costs are rising rapidly, and our current healthcare system is unsustainable. We need to find ways to address this issue before it’s too late.

And by gamifying healthcare, we can encourage healthy behaviors and shift our focus towards preventative healthcare. With these tools at our disposal, we can address the healthcare crisis before it’s too late.
