About the Series

The Futurist x HLTH Healthcare Series is a documentary collection telling the stories of the companies, clinicians, and technologies reshaping global healthcare. Each episode is a dedicated 25-minute story — one company, one narrative arc, told cinematically and editorially independently.

The series launches during HLTH 2026 in Las Vegas — the largest healthcare event of the year — with full distribution across major streaming platforms.

Each episode is a permanent, evergreen asset. Featured companies own the recognition, the leads, the press, and the on-site activation for years to come.

Editorial Independence — The Difference That Matters

The Futurist is documentary content, not branded content. That is why it lives on Amazon Prime Video, Roku, and Tubi — and why sophisticated audiences trust it.

• Collaborative script. The narrative is shaped together with your team — while editorial integrity and the final story stay with The Futurist.
• Documentary format. Real interviews. Real clinical footage. Real impact. Not an advertorial.
• Credited as Episode Partner. Recognized in opening and closing titles — not embedded into the narrative.
• Company leadership featured. Executives and selected team members on-camera, telling the story in their own voice.
• Technology shown in real-world context. Part of the larger story, not the marketing of it.
