Software is eating the world—transforming industries from finance to retail, from media to transportation. Yet healthcare remains stubbornly resistant to digital transformation. In Inedible, healthcare innovator Mariano García-Valiño diagnoses this anomaly, explaining why healthcare continues to lag behind and revealing how it can finally leap forward.

Drawing from decades of experience at the intersection of healthcare and technology, García-Valiño identifies the root cause: today’s healthcare systems were built for an era dominated by acute, infectious diseases. That era has passed. Modern medicine faces chronic diseases—conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular illness, and cancer—that demand constant monitoring, preventive care, and personalized treatment. The outdated model, designed to address immediate symptoms rather than long-term health management, leads inevitably to fragmented care, soaring costs, poor patient outcomes, and widespread frustration among patients and healthcare professionals alike.

With clarity and precision, García-Valiño exposes the core issues plaguing healthcare: misaligned incentives favoring quantity over quality, fragmented information that impedes care coordination, and obsolete organizational structures incapable of effective preventive care. But he doesn't stop at diagnosis—he delivers an actionable solution.

Through compelling real-world case studies demonstrating cost reductions of up to 40%, along with significant improvements in patient satisfaction and health outcomes, García-Valiño shows that transformative innovation is achievable with technology available today. The future, he argues, lies not in isolated apps or incremental improvements, but in fundamentally reimagining healthcare delivery.
