The Future of Technology and Health

Thinking about the future of these incredibly important aspects of our lives can lead us to strange yet, unimaginable and amazing places. Science constantly dreams and dares to conjure up new practices, engineer machinery and conduct experiments all in the hopes of prolonging and bettering human life.

Robots performing surgery?

An ultimate vaccine to eradicate every kind of virus?

A cure to the most horrendous and challenging diseases?

Who knows what heights medicine will reach; judging by the rate we’re going, the possibilities seem endless. We can’t know for sure, but we can comment on our area of expertise. At myDNA, the focus is on analyzing our individual genetic profiles in order to determine the best course of action when it comes to our health, targeting everything from diet to fitness and even medication. We may not have unlocked all the answers, but we do know that DNA is the key to many of the padlocks we often face when it comes to how we should care for and treat our bodies.

The Innovative Field of Nutrigenomics

Although the idea of personalized diet plans has been around for quite some time now, the field of nutrigenomics is still relatively new.  This means that it is in a state of constant development, with fresh and exciting zeal.

Essentially, those who work in nutritional science investigate the relationship between our genes and our food, nutrition and health. They endeavor to use their findings to improve people’s diets and exercise regimes by tailoring them to suit individual needs.  Already, as we enter the third decade of this century, we can determine many factors that affect people’s weight, ability to absorb certain nutrients, why certain exercises work better on some people but not others etc.

Ways to Take it to the Next Level

We like many other health centric providers use technology to advance our services. Since The Human Genome Project, where a global community of scientists mapped the entire human genome, more researchers are uncovering new findings every day about how DNA influences our health and wellbeing. The bank of high-quality evidence we use to provide our DNA-powered health and wellness advice will only grow.

In addition, another way nutrigenomics could be expanded is by creating technologies that are more aware and responsive to our nutritional profiles.

For example, salad bars that customize your lunch to add just the right amount of protein, carbohydrates and fat, just for you!

The fitness industry could do the same and surely the equipment used at gyms, apps on our phones and personal trainers will only become more intelligent and perceptive to what we need as individuals.

Given that we have the means, a wealth of technology that is improving all the time, scientists who learn with the latest gadgets and access to top of the range labs, there’s no reason why we can’t think big. We’ve spent too long letting ourselves get stale without considering our own special uniqueness as a vital element.

We decorate and adorn our homes with all the newest things to ensure comfort and to entertain ourselves with, so why is it not the same with our health? Especially seen as it’s the most precious part of our entities!

Here at myDNA, we strongly believe that the relationship between health and technology is the future, and we can help our members achieve their goals and ambitions by leveraging advances in technology to provide the most personalized wellness platform available.
