Cory Kidd has been working at the intersection of healthcare and technology for more than 20 years, including his time as a masters and PhD student at the MIT Media Lab. It’s a period he refers to as the basis of his current work as founder and CEO of Catalia Health. He’s spent significant time working to solve one of the big healthcare issues of our time: With a rapidly aging population, the extent of chronic conditions has become more and more prevalent. According to the United Nations, aging is fast becoming one the most significant social transformations of the 21st century. In fact, it’s estimated that there are more than 960 million people, or 13 percent of the population, aged 60 or older around the globe, with a growth rate of 3 percent per year, making this age group the fastest growing of all. By 2030 the projected number of older persons is expected to reach 1.4 billion. The fact that we are living longer, in part due to improved healthcare, means that people are dealing with healthcare issues we simply didn’t have to face in years prior. Cory Kidd and Catalia Health are facing these challenges head on.
