Anna joined a public panel discussion exploring the future of health tech. Drawing on the Futures Centre, she outlined three trends affecting the global outlook for human health:
- the rise of non-communicable diseases
- the impact of climate change on vector-borne diseases
- resistance to antiobiotics
Then she outlined three ways in which health tech is responding to the challenges:
- personalised analytics, beyond wearables
- solutions tailored to an individual's microbiome
- precise gene-editing with CRISPR.
