While the COVID-19 pandemic rocked global healthcare, it may also have accelerated the industry's technological and medical advancements in recent years. This report section will take a closer look at some of those ongoing healthcare developments that Quantumrun Foresight is focusing on in 2023. For instance, advances in genetic research and micro and synthetic biology are providing new insights into disease causes and strategies for prevention and treatment. As a result, the focus of healthcare is shifting from reactive treatment of symptoms to proactive health management. Precision medicine—which uses genetic information to tailor treatment to individuals—is becoming increasingly prevalent, as are wearable technologies that modernize patient monitoring. These trends are poised to transform healthcare and improve patient outcomes, but they are not without a few ethical and practical challenges.

In recent years, markets have displayed a growing interest in the commercialization of space, leading to an increasing number of companies and nations investing in space-related industries. This trend has created new opportunities for research and development and commercial activities such as satellite launches, space tourism, and resource extraction. However, this increase in commercial activity is also leading to growing tension in global politics as nations compete for access to valuable resources and seek to establish dominance in the arena. The militarization of space is also a growing concern as countries build up their military capabilities in orbit and beyond. This report section will cover the space-related trends and industries Quantumrun Foresight is focusing on in 2023.

In recent years, novel therapies and techniques have evolved to meet mental healthcare needs. This report section will cover the mental health treatments and procedures Quantumrun Foresight is focusing on in 2023.
