Looking to the future, a startup from Iceland innovates to address the opioid epidemic. In today's episode of The Futurists, guest host JP Nicols, co-host of The Futurists' sister podcast Breaking Banks, spotlights a healthtech innovator that he met on a recent trip to Iceland that is doing something to address a growing problem. Dr. Kjartan Thorsson, Prescriby, Co-Founder, acted on concerns noted as an orthopedic doctor -- he was regularly prescribing 30 to 50 opioid prescriptions a week.

Entrepreneurs and futurists building a better world of tomorrow.
