Ideas to profit off of this?

[Anonymous No.53851940]

>The US obesity prevalence was 41.9% in 2017
>The estimated annual medical cost of obesity in the United States was nearly $173 billion in 2019 dollars
>The results showed that by 2030, several states will have obesity prevalence close to 60%, while the lowest states will be approaching 40%.

Honestly this makes me sadistically happy, enjoy being fat merika.
I'm going to do lots of money out of this, while being healthy and slim, oh, what a time to be young on this world, what a time, people no longer study, read, don't care about morals or their own decaying bodies... Kek...
Btw this is not only an American 'trend', most of the develop countries and even developing countries (third world that are western leaning) will suffer or are suffering with the same fate with just a couple years behind, this is a market to look into for the future lads.

Do you really want ideas or do you just want to talk about fat people but don't want to post on /b/? Because I'll tell you, realistically, where the money is at.

One of the biggest problems with the obesity epidemic is, unsurprisingly, in healthcare. Not for the fatty, but for the nurses. There is a very high level of back and joint injuries for nurses, just moving these people from the gourney to the bed. This results in worker's comp claims, a lot of lost productivity, it's part of the reason that there's going to continue to be a deficit of nurses for the forseeable future.

People have designed the big hydraulic systems that attach to the ceiling that assist in lifting the patient, but they cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and many hospitals aren't able to install them just due to how big they are, and how they're engineered to anchor to the wall.

If you've got some engineering talent, and can think of a way to use less expensive tech, some kind of pulley system, beds that can slide the patients off, stuff like that, you can either sell it to hospitals for a huge profit, or just buy a truck and become a contractor, drive around to different hospitals to move patients as required for a thousand bucks a pop.

I don't have any experience on medical devices, but if the problem is as big as you say it is, I think it will only get worse, because for the little that I know (from people that worked int the industry), medicine is one of the most truncated and bureaucratic fields there is when it comes to medical devices, so even if you were able to develop something "simpler" and more coast effective, that is the least of the problems, again, I don't work on the area, but if it's anything like what I've being told by people that worked in the field, unless you're already in it's nearly impossible to shit a product to the medical industry.

I would say invest heavily in healthcare/pharma but there’s always the chance the industry finally gets nationalized in the US

It never would, and in the theoretical situation where it does, america would collapse instantaneously so that would be rendered moot.

Not necessarily true.
