It is undeniable: Our current health ecosystem was not designed to promote health or prevent disease. It was built to react and manage illness only after symptoms occur. But today it is not even succeeding at that: chronic disease rates climb relentlessly, outcomes worsen year after year, and health and care grow more expensive. Worse still, the person who should be at the center, is treated as a vessel for their illness, valued for the revenue they generate. Meanwhile, healthcare systems, payers, pharmaceutical companies, device manufacturers, and technology firms compete fiercely for growth and survival. The truth is that no one is competing to make you healthier. We've reached a breaking point where the system doesn't just fail; it actively harms people through preventable suffering, and bankrupts families through inexcusable waste. Enter Intelligent Health.

A fundamental reimagining around a different center of gravity: you. It begins by unifying all your health and care data--clinical, behavioral, environmental, genetic, and social--to see the complete picture of what shapes your health. It applies artificial intelligence to transform that data into actionable insight for today and predictive foresight about the future, catching emerging risks before they cascade into crises. Most radically, it aligns the entire ecosystem of health and care around you. Today, consumer health solutions multiply while outcomes stagnate. Costs spiral while access shrinks. Technology advances while coordination collapses. Intelligent Health offers what incremental reform cannot: an audacious blueprint for health and care to create a system that is more human, more intelligent, and built to advance health.

Drawing on 20 years transforming systems, Dr. Afsar creates both a visionary framework and an actionable roadmap for anyone who believes we can do better and refuses to wait any longer. We know what's broken. We know what's needed. Now we must decide: How many more people will suffer under the old system while we debate building the new one? Intelligent Health is for anyone who wants better health and care--individuals, families and caregivers, clinicians and care teams, health care delivery systems, insurers, pharmaceutical and biotechnology innovators, medical device and digital health companies, and policymakers and regulators.
