McKinsey Health Institute

We are proud to announce the McKinsey Health Institute has joined a formal collaboration with the World Economic Forum's Healthy Workforces initiative, committing to achieve healthier, happier workforces around the globe and improve the holistic health of employees, their families, and their communities. The Healthy Workforces Initiative empowers organizations and communities to prioritize and support physical and mental health in the workplace, encouraging a more productive, resilient, and healthy global workforce. Our research has quantified the major potential health and economic opportunity of investing in employee health — a $3.7 to $11.7 trillion opportunity globally. As part of the initiative, we will help raise awareness and deepen collective understanding of the importance of healthy workforces, and promote an evidence-based approach to helping more employees — and by extension, society — to achieve optimal health.

"Whether you’re 20, 50, 70, or 80, you’ve got more time ahead of you than previous generations. You can improve how you age at any time, but the earlier you start, the better." Economist and author Andrew J Scott joined McKinsey Health Institute Coleader Ellen Feehan to discuss the enormous opportunity that today's increase in life expectancy presents. https://lnkd.in/egyKeKTZ #HealthyLongevity #GlobalHealth

In the latest episode of the Innovate and Elevate podcast, McKinsey Health Institute Coleader Lucy Perez joined Sharon Kedar, CFA to explore the disparity in women's health outcomes, the $1 trillion health and economic opportunity to #CloseTheWomensHealthGap, and the actions that can help drive meaningful change.

In the US, cardiovascular disease, or CVD, is the leading cause of death for women —accounting for at least a third of the women's health gap.     The McKinsey Health Institute's new report highlights how a lack of data and inequities between women and men in care delivery and efficacy contribute to these disparities, as well as opportunities and actions needed to improve women's heart health. With the right actions, we could unlock at least 1.6 million years of higher-quality life and boost the US economy by $28 billion annually by 2040.    Read the full report, developed in collaboration with the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women movement: https://lnkd.in/e4UxhWNF    #WomensHealth #HeartHealth #HealthEquity #CloseTheWomensHealthGap

Women in the US continue to lose a total of 1.6 million years of healthy life annually due to the health gap between women and men for cardiovascular disease.      Our new report, "The state of women's heart health in the US: A path to improved health and financial outcomes," developed in collaboration with the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women movement, explores the outsized impact of cardiovascular disease on women and actions we can take to realize better health outcomes and an estimated $28 billion annually for the US economy by 2040.     Read the full report from authors Lucy Perez and Megan Greenfield, Ph.D. of the McKinsey Health Institute in collaboration with leaders of the American Heart Association: https://lnkd.in/e4UxhWNF     #WomensHealth #HeartHealth #HealthEquity #CloseTheWomensHealthGap #CVD  

Investing in employee health and well-being is good for employees, workforces, organizations, and society, with the total global opportunity for optimizing employee health between $3.7 to $11.7 trillion. In 2023, Business in the Community and McKinsey Health Institute published a report highlighting the business case for putting employees at the heart of business strategy. Today, we launch "Prioritise People: The Next Step", a how-to guide that includes practical interventions that organizations can use to measure health and well-being initiatives.

More than 60 million women in the United States live with cardiovascular disease - one of the leading causes of death nationwide. This morning, Dr. Jennifer Ashton joined Good Morning America on ABC News to give an early look at the findings of a new report coming tomorrow from the McKinsey Health Institute and American Heart Association that explores the state of women's heart health in the US, its health and economic implications, and actions needed to close the women's heart health gap.

This week, Stanford University School of Medicine and McKinsey Health Institute co-hosted “Realising the Potential of AI in Health” – a forward-looking conversation with more than 80 senior leaders across healthcare, life sciences, health tech, investment, and tech exploring how AI can help add years to life and life to years for billions globally. Experts in life sciences, healthcare, and academia weighed in on the promise of this new era. From accelerating drug discovery, improving our understanding of human biology, and easing administrative burdens to providing expert decision support to health care workers and individuals, the potential for AI to enable better health is enormous. To harness it well, experts say, we must explore – and act – on big questions related to equity, agency, and ownership, and consider the central role AI could play in the transformation of health systems. Thank you to Dean Lloyd Minor of Stanford University School of Medicine Medicine and McKinsey Health Institute Chair Hemant Ahlawat for opening remarks, and to our distinguished speakers including Euan Ashley of Stanford Medicine, Alex Beauvais of QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey, Danielle Belgrave of GSK, Colin Murdoch of Isomorphic Labs and Google DeepMind, Kristin Anne Rutter of Cambridge University Health Partners, and our expert moderator, Financial Times Columnist John Thornhill, for an important and illuminating discussion we look forward to continuing. #globalhealth #AIandHealth
