Firstly, thank you to the wonderful team at TenthPin, one of Europe’s fastest growing specialist Life Sciences system integrators, for inviting me to be their opening keynote at their annual company get together which this year was held at the amazing Concorde Hotel in Antalya, Turkey.
With all 400 of the company’s employees in attendance we kicked off the day with a look into what the next fifteen or so years has in store for the animal health, healthcare, and life sciences sector. And it looked truly science-fiction-like.
The Future of Healthcare and Life Sciences 2040, by Futurist Keynote Matthew Griffin
By 2028 companies in the biotech and pharma sector believe that we should finally reach a point in time that they call “Escape Velocity” – the point in time when the sum of healthcare and medical breakthroughs mean we are able to extend the human life for more than a year for every year that passes. And, when you have a look at the breakthroughs we are seeing today, which in time will become commercially mature and approved by the regulators – eventually in real time – this vision of the future isn’t far fetched.
While some of the breakthroughs have universal benefits, such as the development of gene therapies that can be applied to both animals and humans, as well as the use of smart devices to monitor the health of populations, others have more applicability to humans, such as 3D and 4D Printed human organs and tissues, Anti-Ageing and Rejuvenation technologies, hybrid human immune systems, In Vivo gene editing, the development of Cancer Vaccines and Predictive Medicines, rapid gene sequencing and Personalised Medicines, and many others. All of which, in time, will make 60 the new 30 and could see us all live healthy, vibrant lives that extend well beyond the age of 100.
