The Future of Health Issue Cover

The Future of Health Issue

This month’s issue of The Drum is the picture of health as we examine the rapidly evolving space that is healthcare. In it we take a look at three brands consistently referred to as the Googles or Amazons of healthcare – Tencent-backed $5.5bn Chinese medical startup WeDoctor, Ali Parsa’s Babylon and at-home genetic testing giant 23andMe. We find out how VR is being used by a British hospice to help end-of-life patients travel the world without having to leave their seats and see how big pharma is finally realizing the value of a visual brand. We also hear from six startups adopting the subscription model in an attempt to disrupt the healthcare industry and find out how healthy eating is driving a booming vegan market and how big brands are determined to take a bite out of it. Finally, we take the pulse of the NHS at 70, asking whether it could do with a dose of modern brand thinking.

The Future of Video Issue

It may have killed the radio star, but our September issue looks at the ways that video is now evolving.
