Abstract

The future of individualized connected health has attracted increasing interest in recent years. In this chapter, we outline some of the present trends and challenges that have been identified as influencing connected health, and present 16 alternative, exploratory future scenarios for individualized connected health. We present both optimistic and pessimistic scenarios and assess their probability, plausibility, and preferability. Our research indicates that to reach some of the preferred futures, we should pay attention to the coverage and content of offerings, the use and ownership of data, and the role of the individual when offering connected health systems, devices, or services through public or private channels.
