Evolutionary Engineering & Ethical Thrivability: Balancing Innovation and Well-Being

|

Modern evolutionary engineering techniques—notably clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) gene editing technology, gene therapy, and synthetic biology—are transforming healthcare by tackling diseases at their genetic roots. Scientists can now “edit” the human genome to correct mutations, offering hope for curing thousands of genetic diseases (UNCTAD, 2019). These technologies have started to reach patients

Is Digital Health The Key To A Sustainable Healthcare Future?

|

Digital health technologies improve health, healthcare services, and well-being. They aid data collection, disease monitoring, risk assessment, and decision-making (Rahimi-Ardabili, Magrabi & Coiera, 2022). Yet, a digital health paradox arises when considering the environmental impact of digital health technologies. Digital health began in the 1960s with electronic health records (EHRs), shifting from paper-based systems to
