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

Business and Biodiversity: How Do We Assess The Impacts?

|

Biodiversity is disappearing at an alarming rate with species extinction and ecosystem degradation accelerating owing to human activities. With projections indicating that biodiversity loss, particularly rising species extinctions, will likely persist without substantial intervention. Weak or poorly enforced environmental laws allow prolific biodiversity loss. Individual consumption patterns lead to high demand for products that rely

What To Do About The Issue Of Microplastics In Food

|

Introduction We often microwave our lunch boxes and boil water in a plastic kettle. These actions can lead to problems that arise from microplastics. Microplastics can negatively impact human health and the environment. The issue of microplastics is particularly concerning as plastic packaging does not biodegrade and inevitably resurfaces years later (Kumar et al., 2021).
