"The future of human health is not waiting to be discovered - it is waiting to be built!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Some weeks ago, in my Megatrends series, I wrote about the future of healthcare, in particular, the impact of preventative medicine, predictive medicine, and accelerating longevity.

Those posts drew the interest of a good friend of mine in Australia - a medical doctor and healthcare researcher. She wrote to me asking what this might mean in terms of a future career.

Here's what I want to tell her.

What's fascinating is how these three megatrends are converging in ways that make your expertise essential:

Predictive and Preventative Healthcare (#10) requires someone who understands population health patterns and can design systems that identify risk before symptoms appear.

Longevity Science (#11) focuses on healthspan, not just lifespan – companies need professionals who understand how health behaviors compound across populations.

Personalized Medicine (#12) moves from universal pills to individualized treatments, but requires scaling personalized approaches without widening health disparities.

As I wrote in Megatrend #10, the medicine of tomorrow isn't about the miracle cure; it's about the predictive insight that makes the cure unnecessary. These companies desperately need people who understand health from a systems perspective, not just a technology perspective.

Here's the key point to consider - the future of health is being written right now. The question isn't whether public health professionals belong in tech companies – it's which companies will be smart enough to recognize they need you. It also involves having the courage and belief in your skills to make a big, bold leap at this moment in your career, jumping in when you are most uncomfortable with a career change, and yet doing so at the exact right time that the private sector needs someone like you.

Need a bit of encouragement?

I've been having some fun with AI lately, exploring what these new career paths might look like by 2030, and specifically, thinking about the new careers that could exist in 5 or 10 years. Imagine yourself in one of these roles. These are the very jobs you might find yourself working in. If you want the full document I prepared, the PDF is right here.

Explore the new jobs that are likely to exist - and know that these aren't mere jobs – they're missions. Here's how they break down:

The data is flowing, the technology is here, and the future of human health isn't waiting to be discovered – it's waiting to be built.

The only question is: who will be the architects?

You?

**Megatrend #10** — Predictive and Preventative Healthcare:
“𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑜𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑤 𝑖𝑠𝑛’𝑡 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑖𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑙𝑒 𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑒; 𝑖𝑡’𝑠 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑢𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑎𝑟𝑦.” — Futurist Jim Carroll

Medicine is shifting from reactive treatment to anticipatory care through continuous monitoring, AI diagnostics, and early intervention. We are moving from fixing people after they are sick to knowing what they will become sick with and acting accordingly. This creates fundamentally different business models across the health system and massive new business and societal opportunities.

The interesting thing about this trend is that while it involves so much promise, it also requires societies that have a mature relationship with science and the future. Given some of the recent events throughout the US, it is becoming obvious that other parts of the world will see greater advancements with this megatrend.

With that in mind, let's dive into the idea of "health reimagined.". Want the full report? There's a PDF here!

pdf.jimcarroll.com/Megatrend10

What's underneath it all are four major trends that form the central nervous system of a proactive health ecosystem.

Artificial Intelligence: The engine of the proactive health revolution, enabling risk prediction, diagnostic enhancement, and personalized care at an unprecedented scale.

Genomics: The biological blueprint for personalized medicine, enabling a shift from population averages to truly individualized care.

Wearables & IoMT: The continuous monitoring network that captures real-time physiological and behavioral data in everyday life.

Data Interoperability: The connective tissue that enables seamless information flow across the entire health ecosystem.

Will all of this happen?

There's a lot of pie-in-the-sky thinking that involves huge change with a massively complex system. Some societies are no longer mature enough to chase the opportunities.

But the trends, technology, and science identified above are evolving at an astonishing speed, and so clearly, this is a megatrend to watch.

TelegramNew Rules🚨🇮🇷⚠️ EXPOSED: IAEA’s MOSAIC – AI Espionage vs. Iran Funded by the US and powered by Palantir’s AI, the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) Modernization of Safeguards Information Technology (MOSAIC) system turned nuclear inspections into predictive surveillance—erasing the line between oversight and military targeting. 📌 Espionage in Disguise The 2015 nuclear deal gave IAEA unchecked access to Iran’s facilities, funneling satellite data, sensors, and documents into MOSAIC’s AI. But leaks revealed: 🔸 Tracked scientists (risk of assassinations) 🔸 Scanned 400M+ digital objects (social media, satellites) 🔸 Justified 60+ snap inspections—later used as war pretexts 💥 Data Weaponized On May 31, the IAEA accused Iran of nuclear activity—12 days before Israel’s attack. IAEA chief Grossi later admitted: ❌ No proof of Iranian nukes Iran suspended cooperation, accusing IAEA of sharing intel with Israel. 🔍 Who Funds MOSAIC? 🔸 $100M+/year from US 🔸 Palantir’s biased AI (notorious for false flags) 🚀 The Real Goal? Was the 2015 deal always a Trojan horse for industrial espionage—feeding intel for assassinations and war? 🇮🇷 Iran Fights Back: 🔸 Removed IAEA cameras 🔸 Banned Grossi from bombed sites 🔸 Exposed IAEA’s "malign intent" ⚠️ Warning: Any nation under IAEA scrutiny risks fabricated evidence for regime change.

Megatrend **#4** - Digital Twins: "With a digital twin, we don't just envision the future; we build it, test it, and perfect it, long before it ever touches the real world." - Futurist Jim Carroll

It's one of the most unappreciated but most powerful megatrends with a huge amount of potential. And you might not know it, but it's already being used all around you.

What's it all about? Think of it this way - it involves the creation of virtual replicas that allow for unprecedented simulation, optimization, and predictive capability, involving things like supply chains, buildings, manufacturing processes, and even surgery. in essence, we can figure things out before committing to doing those things. In that way, we can solve previously impossible problems, by testing and simulating them first.

Imagine being able to test out a big, expensive idea without actually building anything. Or fixing a problem in your factory before it even happens. Sounds like science fiction, right? It's not. It's happening right now, and it's changing how businesses operate.

What exactly Is a digital twin?

Think of it as a super-detailed virtual copy of something real. This "something" could be almost anything: a factory machine, an entire building, a complex supply chain, or even, as the quote suggests, a human organ. This isn't just a static picture, though. This digital replica is constantly updated with data from its real-world counterpart. So, if a machine in your factory starts to heat up, its digital twin knows it too, in real-time.

Digital twin technology is already being used in supply chains, building management and design, manufacturing, and more.

What's next? Advancements with personalized healthcare. Digital twins of human organs could allow doctors to test out different treatments for a patient's specific condition virtually, predicting the best course of action without any risk to the patient. Entire cities could have digital twins, allowing urban planners to simulate the impact of new infrastructure projects, traffic patterns, and even climate change scenarios.

Why does it matter? Because it gives us unprecedented simulation, optimization, and predictive capability. It's like having a crystal ball for your business or your project. By understanding how things will behave before we make big investments or take significant risks.

Oh, and one more thing.

This stuff is not theoretical. My oldest son is a UAV Practice Manager for a major firm and a GIS / geospatial mapping expert. In a proud dad moment, here's an article he just wrote on digital twin technology in the industry in which he works.

I'll go ahead and say it. Predictive typing is as advanced as just throwing spaghetti at a wall and seeing what sticks.

The typo in "hour” is mine. The suggestion to complete the sentence with "horseshoe” is Microsoft Outlook’s.

Even worse, I have "Check spelling as you type” and “Check grammar as you type" both turned on.

New article just came out :
"Modelling the Dynamics of Outbreak Species: The Case of Ditrupa arietina (O.F. Müller), Gulf of Lions, NW Mediterranean Sea"

mdpi.com/2077-1312/12/2/350

Thanks to an impressive 10 yr observation series collected by one of our co-authors (F. Charles) @CNRS, the article shows what great data and a little mathematical modelling can do for prediction in marine ecology.

MDPIModelling the Dynamics of Outbreak Species: The Case of Ditrupa arietina (O.F. Müller), Gulf of Lions, NW Mediterranean SeaAn outbreak species exhibits extreme, rapid population fluctuations that can be qualified as discrete events within a continuous dynamic. When outbreaks occur they may appear novel and disconcerting because the limiting factors of their dynamics are not readily identifiable. We present the first population hybrid dynamic model that combines continuous and discrete processes, designed to simulate marine species outbreaks. The deterministic framework was tested using the case of an unexploited benthic invertebrate species: the small, serpulid polychaete Ditrupa arietina. This species is distributed throughout the northeast Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea; it has a life cycle characterised by a pelagic dispersive larval stage, while juveniles and adults are sedentary. Sporadic reports of extremely high, variable densities (from <10 to >10,000 ind.m−2) have attracted attention from marine ecologists for a century. However, except for one decade-long field study from the Bay of Banyuls (France, Gulf of Lions, Mediterranean Sea), observations are sparse. Minimal formulations quantified the processes governing the population dynamics. Local population continuous dynamics were simulated from a size-structured model with a null immigration–emigration flux balance. The mathematical properties, based on the derived hybrid model, demonstrated the possibilities of reaching an equilibrium for the population using a single number of recruits per reproducer. Two extrapolations were made: (1) local population dynamics were simulated over 180 years using North Atlantic Oscillation indices to force recruitment variability and (2) steady-state population densities over the Gulf of Lions were calculated from a connectivity matrix in a metapopulation. The dynamics reach a macroscopic stability in both extrapolations, despite the absence of density regulating mechanisms. This ensures the persistence of D. arietina, even when strong, irregular oscillations characteristic of an outbreak species are observed. The hybrid model suggests that a macroscopic equilibrium for a population with variable recruitment conditions can only be characterised for time periods which contain several outbreak occurrences distributed over a regional scale.
