How Decentralized Governance Could Revolutionize Healthcare Access and Innovation

Welcome back to Health Unlocked! In this thought-provoking episode, host Jasen Petersen dives deep into the future of healthcare innovation and governance. Building on last season’s discussions of cellular genesis and wound healing breakthroughs, they tackle the tough questions: What stands in the way of revolutionary technologies like IBAL reaching everyone who needs them? And how do you protect life-changing research from being absorbed into profit-driven models that limit patient access?

The conversation explores decentralized healing, community-based governance through DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations), and the role of nonprofits like the Ionic Alliance Foundation. Listeners will gain insight into the challenges posed by traditional funding structures: venture capital, pharma, benefit corporations, and discover why Jasen Petersen believes DAOs could be the key to shifting control away from extractive industries and toward patient-focused innovation.

If you’re intrigued by the intersection of blockchain, healthcare, and mission-driven science, this episode lays out the principles behind a more transparent, equitable future where the community, not just shareholders or board members, decides how medical advances are developed and delivered. Tune in as Health Unlocked unpacks why decentralized governance could transform how technology reaches the world, making healing accessible for all.
