Futures of Health & Wellbeing

May 12

Care, vitality, and (mental) health in a pressured world.

We examine how physical and mental health are understood, accessed, and experienced across societies. This includes care systems, biohacking, equity, wellness trends, and the digitization of health. In a world under pressure, how we support human flourishing is a defining question for the futures.

• Public health & pandemic resilience
• Mental health & emotional ecosystems
• Longevity, performance & biohacking
• Wellness economies & lifestyle care
• Health equity & access gaps
• Digital health, wearables & diagnostics

3. Optimizing Health

Health is shifting from treatment to prevention, personalization, and longevity. Aging populations, chronic disease, AI, genomics, mental wellbeing, and community-based care are transforming health into something increasingly managed, measured, and invested in.

4. Liquid Lifestyles

Traditional life paths are becoming more fluid as people rethink work, family, identity, consumption, and what a meaningful life looks like. Greater flexibility and inclusivity open new possibilities, but also create tension around belonging, stability, and shared norms.

7. Collapsing Ecosystems

Climate change, biodiversity loss, resource depletion, and ecosystem breakdown are putting both nature and economies under severe pressure. The transition ahead will require systemic action, global collaboration, and difficult choices about energy, consumption, food, water, and materials.
