Episode Synopsis
Talking Health & Wellbeing features major names in the health and wellbeing space in conversation with amii chair David Middleton.
The series launched with a discussion on the future use of technology and data in the health and well-being space with Iain McMillan, Director of Distribution at Bupa.
Iain predicts that wearable technology may at some stage provide reports directly to GPs and health insurance companies and that voice technology – such as Alexa – could be used in flagging up potential mental health issues.
The podcast also features a discussion around how the future of medicine will be driven by data and analytics with advances in technology, biology, genomics and precision medicine set to revolutionise our understanding and approach to health and continue the trend towards personalised healthcare.
David and Iain also look towards the future of workplace wellbeing and the kind of data that could be collected from smartphones, apps and wearables to advance physical health and support people's energy levels and mood management.
