Gezondheid tot de derde macht
Gezondheid tot de derde macht

Imagine: nature – as a recognized force in healthcare and well-being. A future where humans, technology, and nature work together. A new synergy of forces to care for our health.

Health to the third power

Our healthcare is changing. On the one hand, we are able to treat more diseases. On the other hand, we are growing older and the demand for care and support is increasing. Do we have enough people and resources to provide the necessary care in the future? Will the jobs we know today still exist? What tasks are executed by human professionals? What will technology and AI do for us? Are we able to find more capacity to organise care and to create health?

Discover nature as a registered (work)force in care and wellbeing. Nature helps us live healthier lives. Nature inspires us to organise our care processes differently. And nature supports staff in working together.

The future of health is a collaboration between people, technology and nature. Sometimes human action takes centre stage. Sometimes technology provides the answer. And sometimes nature is the most powerful solution. The synergy between these three forces is dynamic.

So how does future work in care and wellbeing look like? This installation has no definitive answers. It invites you to change perspective, to discover new possibilities in which nature, people and technology work together for health. How would you divide the powers?
