This helps us to curate our framework of trends based on qualitative and quantitative evidence, to build our internal library of innovations and early signals, and to anticipate and brainstorm ‘what if?’ questions.



Working with trends and foresight required a mix of creativity and analytics. At Think Next, we love data, to help us evidence the trends we’re talking about.
How do people manage their health? How ready are they to embrace emerging technologies in health? Where do they look for health information?
All answered in the Patient Trendscoping research.
