People are taking control of their health — now, and in the future. That’s Healthusiasm. And nowhere is that more radical than with artificial intelligence.
AI is speeding up drug discovery, creating new medicines, and even stepping in as coaches, advisors, and companions. But beyond the headlines, the real story lies in how this changes our expectations, our emotions, and even the balance of power in healthcare.
Mo Zouina reflects on the messy in-between moments: when AI makes us expect more than is possible, or diagnoses a disease for which no cure exists. This new zone could put huge pressure on healthcare systems.
Nia talks about the rise of emotional AI — and how, unless machines take over some of this role, the human side of care will remain just as critical. We even joked about redesigning that famous Google mug — the one that said “Don’t confuse your Google search with my medical degree”. Today it might read: “Maybe AI knows… but does it really care?”
Christophe highlights how AI is flipping upside down the millennia-old dynamics of healthcare. For centuries, unequal access to knowledge and solutions defined medicine. The internet challenged that. Now AI could overturn it completely. And Keith pushes it further: in the future, patients may not just access knowledge — they could design their own solutions.
Healthusiasm is about people taking control of their health. With AI, that control may be stretched to the max.
