Description

The Healthusiasm Podcast is about the future of health — and how technology, consumers and culture are reshaping it from the outside in.


Across every industry — healthcare, pharma, retail, tech, food, finance, hospitality — the same shift keeps surfacing: people are no longer passive patients. They're active participants, choosers and managers of their own health, well-being and longevity. We call that shift Healthusiasm, and it's quietly redesigning what organisations must do to stay relevant.


Most weeks, host Christophe Jauquet — health business expert, keynote speaker and author of the Healthusiasm books — turns the latest signals in consumer-driven health into something you can think with: GLP-1 and the new weight-loss economy, AI in healthcare, AI health coaches and wearables, longevity, women's health, preventive care, digital health, and the hospitals quietly moving into everyday life. Once a month, the full international panel gathers for a health-innovation round-up.


He's joined by Thalia Muses — the Healthusiasm GPT, trained on the entire Healthusiasm intelligence: the books, frameworks, blog archive and every past episode. Thalia isn't a gimmick. She's a working example of what the show explores — human and AI thinking side by side, connecting signals across industries and pressure-testing the panel's ideas in real time. The show doesn't just talk about human-AI collaboration in health. It practises it.


The panel:

Christophe Jauquet — Belgian, travelling the world. Health business expert, keynote speaker, author of the Healthusiasm books.

Thalia Muses — the Healthusiasm GPT and Christophe's AI thinking partner, with total recall of every framework, blog and episode.

Aline Noizet — French, based in Barcelona. Digital Health Connector with a sharp eye for the start-up scene.

Mo Zouina — Belgian with North African roots. Human-experience specialist focused on wellness, personal care and cosmetics.

Dr Keith Grimes — Scot, based near London. Pioneer in medical digital innovation.

Estefanía 'Nia' Escobar-Kölle — Colombian, based in Berlin. Start-up and innovation expert.

Krupa Suthar — Indian, based in London. Customer-experience and research expert focused on women's and youth's health.


Plus guest thought leaders whenever a topic calls for one.


Streamed in 95+ countries, this isn't a trend report. It's a sensemaking session on where health, technology and human behaviour are heading next — and what that means for the organisations trying to keep up. Tune in, take what's useful, and start seeing your industry through a Healthusiasm lens.

In January 2025, Panasonic presented Umi at CES: an AI health coach for the whole family. It never went on sale. Panasonic called it "discontinued before commercialization" and closed its Panasonic Well unit. So the idea failed? Not quite. In 2026, a Belgian supermarket, a Korean insurer, a hospital group, several health apps, national governments and even the founders of Fitbit are building around exactly the same idea. In this weekly update of The Healthusiasm Podcast, Christophe Jauquet an...
A bathroom scale that takes a heart reading. A bank that trains its staff to notice early signs of dementia. A hospital check-up in southern China sold as a five-day holiday. None of these stories starts with a doctor. None starts with a Google search either. So if health no longer starts at the doctor, where does it start? This episode is a preview of The Health Shifts 2026: The New Front Door of Health, Christophe Jauquet's year-end keynote show. For a long time health had two front doors...
The pharmacy is being unbundled. In one week, NHS England widened Pharmacy First, New South Wales moved pharmacists into chronic care, Musinsa opened a beauty store in Seoul with a licensed pharmacy in the basement, Eucerin, Avène and Ducray moved onto Amazon in Germany, Amazon Pharmacy put licensed pharmacists on the phone 24/7 in Spanish, and Welcia placed dietitians on the drugstore floor in Japan. Six signals, one shift: the product, the professional and the place no longer have to stay t...
An insurer that books a pet hotel when you get cancer. A GoodRx plan that covers your pets. A hospital open on Sundays. A stroke ward with a Penny supermarket inside it. In the same two weeks, MetLife Korea, GoodRx, Apollo Hospitals, Cureety and Reimagine Care, Novo Nordisk and Asklepios all moved in the same direction: illness is being redesigned around normal life. Christophe Jauquet and AI co-host Thalia Muses unpack why this is not a coincidence, and why the next competition in health is ...
In April 2024 Walmart closed 51 health clinics, and everybody called it retail's exit from healthcare. By the summer of 2026 Walmart is bigger in health than before. In this weekly update, Christophe Jauquet and Thalia Muses unpack why retail never left health: it learned that health comes in two speeds, and which speed to use where. Signals from Walmart, Target, Kroger, Instacart, Sam's Club, Holland & Barrett, Hy-Vee, Kaufland, Assaí, KIWI, Colruyt, Olive Better, Müller, Costco, Lawson ...
