Next Advances in Health and Environment

[Guest guest]

According a convention held by US National Academy of Engineering (NAE),

human being need to identify problems for technology in the 21st century

that, if solved, would change the world. The experts said that the pace

of next advances in technology would means the rate of progress will be

30 times faster in the next half century and that opens up the prospect

of innovation in many fields, including better health and better

sustainable ways of living. Personalised medicine would combine genetic

information with clinical data to tailor drugs and doses to fullfill the

needs of an individual patient. It would mean longer, healthier lives;

communication technology would get faster and cheaper; and we will

hopefully make more sustainable way of life.

Of course old and new threats to personal and public health need more

effective and more readily available treatments. Vulnerabilities to

pandemic conditions, terrorist violence, and natural disasters demand

serious searches for new methods of protection and prevention. The

availability of clean energy was a priority. It is identified that sun

is a source of environmentally friendly power that bathing the Earth

with more energy than the planet's population consumes. Technology

inventions will make solar energy affordable. Sunlight is a free energy

source, but the ability to catch it is limited and expensive at present.

It takes time to use fully those promising future resources.
