How Will AI Shape Healthcare?
What if the most powerful shift in healthcare’s future isn’t about medicine at all—but about mindset? In a world where AI can detect disease before symptoms appear, where digital tools sit in our pockets, and where younger generations turn to TikTok over traditional providers, healthcare is being reframed from the ground up.
In this episode of Design Nerds Anonymous, host Amanda Schneider talks with Costanza Cone, Medical Affairs Lead at Viatris, and futurist Kaelynn Reid of Kimball International, to explore how AI, generational shifts, and design are reshaping what care looks like—and where it happens. From homes that act as responsive health hubs to clinics designed more like hospitality spaces, this conversation challenges us to rethink how we embed wellness into daily life.
After listening, you will be able to:
Understand why Millennials and Gen Z are opting out of traditional healthcare—and what that means for design
Recognize how the digital divide across generations could accelerate or stall healthcare innovation
Reimagine the role of homes, schools, and workplaces as first lines of care
Explain what “Uber for nursing” reveals about the future of staffing and flexibility
Identify how clinics of tomorrow must be modular, human-centric, and technologically integrated
Envision a radical 2040 scenario where healthcare is an invisible, personalized ecosystem powered by AI
