"A brilliant read" -- BBC, on Comatose by Tony Estrella
As an author, Tony takes a human-centric approach to writing both fiction and non-fiction to envision the future of the health industry and the impact from technology including AI, smart devices, and robotics.
The love of storytelling started early for Tony. He read non-stop, collected comic books, and watched “the making of…” videos over and over for numerous TV shows and movies. In his professional career, he has worked with talented producers, directors, and colleagues, including building an Emmy-Award winning online health video network in the USA.

A thought experiment white paper blending Tony's storytelling expertise with his healthcare experience
What does the future hold for healthcare systems after the COVID-19 pandemic?
The adoption of digital health that we’ve seen in the last few months is inspiring. The positive impact on people’s lives gives us hope that we can eventually learn from the challenges we are facing today to shift from sick care to personalised healthcare and dynamic prevention.
Through the support of FutureProofing Healthcare and Roche, Tony authored a white paper that envisions an optimistic view of APAC health in 2050. In this future, the world has overcome the current pandemic and is now focused on longevity, data driven decisions, and better health outcomes.
