I've been reporting on this space in my #Trends report since March 2024—two years ago \( Navigating Obesity Care in the Digital Age \). I’m sensing an inflection point. New data predicts that 47% of U.S. adults will have obesity by 2035—a burden that doesn't affect all races and ethnicities equally. With novel therapeutics that are remarkably—and I mean remarkably—effective, new business models have sprouted and are now being scrutinized. Obesity Prevalence and 2035 Projections In 1990, roughly 1 in 5 American adults had obesity. By 2022, that number had climbed to 42.5%—about 107 million people. A new analysis published in JAMA projects that by 2035, nearly half of U.S. adults \(46.9%\) will meet the criteria for obesity, with no demographic group spared. The national average, though, obscures some significant variation. In 2022, non-Hispanic Black females had the highest age-standardized prevalence at 56.9%—nearly 17 percentage points above non-Hispanic White females \(41.5%\).

Link to full post: Why don’t we screen healthy people to catch diseases early? | Out-Of-Pocket The fight that comes up every month "Let's do more scans" As someone who sits at the intersection of healthcare and people that have read Zero to One, a frequent question I get is, "If a test can help us detect diseases, why don't we do it more often to catch things earlier?". I understand the logic - if we screened people more often, we'd find things earlier, and we'd prevent them. The more data, the better. If we scaled down the cost of MRIs, this could be available to everyone. But it's not exactly a cost thing. Doing more tests can actually cause more harm than they help. What happens when we screen lots of healthy people? First, let's refresh ourselves on sensitivity and specificity. These tell us how good a test that's trying to find a disease is. Sensitivity - the probability that if you have a disease, the test will detect it. Specificity - the probability that if you DON'T have the disease, the test will say you don't have the disease. Ideal tests are great at both. Unfortunately, the reality is that most tests make a trade-off between the two. Let's give an extreme, theoretical... - [POV - Tiffany Wilson - Great Science Isn't Enough If No One's Paying for It](https://hlth.com/insights/articles/pov-tiffany-wilson-great-science-isn-t-enough-if-no-one-s-paying-for-it-2026-04-14): POV - Tiffany Wilson - Great Science Isn't Enough If No One's Paying for It Tiffany Wilson has spent 20+ years bringing innovative technology from idea to market adoption and is known globally for her thought leadership on commercialization in medtech, digital health, and health tech. In October 2020, she was appointed President & CEO of the Philadelphia-based Science Center to lead its growth from regional ecosystem builder to a global catalyst for healthcare innovation. What gets you super excited about healthcare innovation, and what do you find hard to watch happening? What's exciting to me is the continued convergence of technologies in both traditional life sciences and the technology side. The first iteration I saw was when I was building in Atlanta—it was early digital health. Traditional med device innovators were coming in wanting to integrate sensors and software and interact with the cloud. They didn't really know how they would monetize it or what they were tracking, but it was the cool new thing, like AI is now. What was interesting was that engineers in academic environments are often trained in silos. They're not used to close collaboration. I saw mechanical engineers, biomedical engineers, software engineers, and electrical engineers all h... ## Optional - [Contact Us](https://hlth.com/contact-us): Get in touch with the HLTH team Contact the HLTH team for questions, partnerships, support, and event-related inquiries. - [Newsletter](https://hlth.com/newsletter): Weekly healthcare innovation newsletter The HLTH newsletter covers healthcare innovation, trends, and highlights from the community. - [About Us](https://hlth.com/about-us): HLTH mission, team, and company background Learn about HLTH's mission and role in connecting healthcare leaders through events and insights.
