2026/10/01

What if we treated obesity not as a failure of willpower, but as the complex, chronic medical condition it truly is?With over half of the global adult population expected to be living with overweight or obesity by 2035, according to the World Obesity Federation, traditional "eat less, exercise more" advice has proven fundamentally insufficient. The widespread arrival of GLP-1 receptor agonists has marked a dramatic shift in metabolic care, offering unprecedented efficacy in weight management,

One third of all data generated globally comes from the healthcare sector, yet a staggering 97% of it remains unused, trapped in siloed systems.This "big crime" of wasted potential is exactly what Simon Rost and his team at GE Healthcare are determined to solve. As the Global Marketing Officer for Enterprise Imaging, Simon sits at the helm of a business that touches over a billion patients a year. In a world where medical imaging is the bedrock of diagnosis, the challenge isn't just about

2026/01/05

Which care models will handle the scourge of metabolic disorders?Beyond the societal questions raised by this public health phenomenon, the real concern is whether traditional care models are capable of managing this group of conditions effectively and sustainably. This largely because traditional care models are episodic and put little focus on behaviour change that is dearly needed to reverse the trend. Among those who have realized it and are striving for alternatives, Ihsan Almarzooqi and

What will our interactions with our healthcare system look like in the age of AI?Whether you are a patient, a doctor, or any other stakeholder in that system, the question is worth asking. In a world where healthcare costs continue to skyrocket, it is clear we need a radical solution to reverse the trend. The broader challenge is to restore the balance between demand and supply of care, limited by our capacity to train new doctors. Among those relentlessly working on this task are Ali Parsa and

Do you know how organs are traditionally transported for transplantation purposes?In a cooler filled with ice. When I learned that this approach was the most widespread method, I admit I was quite shocked... We talk here about "living" organs whose preservation is crucial for the success of their transplant! And as you can imagine, these transplants are often vital. The good news is: some people have racked their brains and rolled up their sleeves to change all that! And one of them is none

While studies have yet to prove a direct causal link, the correlation between smartphone use and declining mental health is well-established, a trend especially concerning among young people.But what if the same technology contributing to the problem could also be the solution? It turns out the therapeutic potential of our smartphones for mental health is no longer up for debate, and one company at the forefront of this revolution is HelloBetter. In this episode, we dive into the fascinating

Is there a future where we will manufacture entire organs?If that's the case, it’s not tomorrow. Yet, the era of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering is very much real and happening now! In some fields, like in dentistry, we are already 3D printing implants that are placed in patients' mouths. In others, like in orthopedic or plastic surgery, cells are harvested from patients to be modified and placed back into their bodies. But what we can't do yet is create complex, functional tissue

Is there a simple way to know your hydration level?Not really. It's a surprising reality, considering our bodies are composed of roughly 60% water. When you consider that half of all people drink less than recommended and that chronic dehydration leads to an increased risk of chronic diseases and premature mortality, it becomes clear that monitoring this parameter daily is a public health imperative. The good news is that Mark Kendall and his team at WearOptimo have developed a technology that

Three years after the 2022 "crypto winter" severely damaged public confidence in these technologies (even among healthcare leaders), the term Web3 is conspicuously absent from the current healthtech space.So, what happened? And where do we really stand with the adoption of these technologies within our healthcare systems? Anca Petre is perfectly positioned to give us answers. A trained pharmacist, she has been exploring Web3 and its healthcare applications for over eight years, speaking on the

What's the link between quantum physics, AI, and drug discovery?Maximilien Levesque might be the perfect person to answer. A former theoretical physicist, he realised his research could transform drug development by fundamentally understanding how molecules interact at the atomic level. In 2019, he co-founded Aqemia with Emmanuelle Martiano Rolland to turn that vision into reality. Their mission is bold: to design new molecules, atom by atom, capable of binding "undruggable" therapeutic
