Health systems are facing unprecedented demographic and financial challenges. At the same time, exponential technological advances pave new pathways to provide quality care. Broad access to vast sets of genetic and environmental data has unlocked a wave of groundbreaking innovations in personalised medicine that may soon become standard treatments of choice.
How is the pharmaceutical industry adapting and keeping pace with this trend? What do these developments mean for policy-makers, payers, societies and individuals and how will they cope with some of the inherent tensions? What are some of the barriers that will need to be addressed in order to bring new innovations to scale? Further, what will need to be done to ensure that healthcare remains inclusive and affordable?
As populations strive to live longer and better, ecological impact is inevitable – what are some of the choices they need to make to ensure ageing is an opportunity, not a liability?

This panel will discuss the trend of the ‘quantified self’. Individuals are now enabled to track various aspects of their daily lives; for example, food consumption, air quality, mood, blood sugar levels and various aspects of mental as well as physical performance.
This ‘life-logging’ extends to the way people live, whether at work or home, and helps optimise consumption patterns for a higher quality life. Does the advent of a data-driven lifestyle lead to more sustainable living? Are there evidences to show that access to personal data enhances quality of life? How are individuals empowered to use data wisely, take the right decisions and adapt lifestyles?
