Four Ways Technology Can Help Displaced Women and Children
Dr Jane Thomason
February 11, 2025
Population displacement is one of the leading policy issues of the 21st century. At least 79.5 million people around the world have been forced to flee their homes. Globally, the number of asylum applications from separated or unaccompanied children is now reaching record highs.

Dr Jane Thomason, emeritus chair of the World Metaverse Council, author and influencer, tells us more.
Global Ethics and Data Governance
Dr Jane Thomason
December 25, 2022
Swipe left, swipe right – as we pay for services with our attention – companies gather and sell our information without consent. We are ignorant about where our data is, what happens to it, what rights we have in regard to our data, and how we can have our data removed or not onsold or shared. Gartner for example named digital ethics as one of its top ten strategic technology trends in 2019. “Shifting from privacy to ethics moves the conversation beyond ‘are we compliant’ toward ‘are we doing the right thing.”
Whither informed consent in a crisis?
Linkedln
December 22, 2022
Lets face it, we have been living with fear and uncertainty and social isolation for most of 2020. We have had to rely on others, governments and scientists to make decisions for society and for us as individuals. Do we even know what those decisions are, on what basis they have been made, or how they evaluated choices?
Building A Global Ethics Ecosystem – Challenges and Opportunities
Dr Jane Thomason
December 06, 2022
Frontier technologies will converge, indeed, it already are. Cloud computing will be ubiquitous. Automation of repetitive manual tasks will be commonplace, and mobile technology will facilitate access to banking, transport, medical, and other services. 3D manufacturing and IOT will reduce the labour intensity of production, monitoring, and maintenance. Blockchain will enable us to create global connected communities working on global commons issues; and big data and advanced data analytics will predict epidemics. Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be interwoven with many of these technologies.
COVID Kick Starts Our Digital Health Futures
Dr Jane Thomason
December 03, 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic has gripped the globe in 2020, and it has resulted in unprecedented changes in lives, economies and globalisation. The enforced shift to virtual working, consuming and socializing has generated a seismic shift towards virtual activity – anything that can be done virtually is. There is no part of our lives where this is more true for than health care. Legacy resistance has fallen away far more rapidly as people have sought new means to use technology to facilitate rapid response during the recent COVID-19 outbreak.
Cyber-ethics: Purpose & Social Responsibility
Dr Jane Thomason
November 18, 2022
For the past 200 years at least, we have relied on sovereign governments to look after our welfare, our environment and our safety and security. This has worked well in the physical world we lived in. However, we live in a digital world and data is becoming the dominant basis for ‘reality.’ This new world demands new tools, because traditional methods are not fit for purpose for a non-physical space like the Internet. It’s akin to using a blacksmiths forge and skill to build a blockchain. Threats to digital systems, data manipulation, forgery or theft can originate anywhere around the globe. The response demands new tools for a digital, non-territorial dimension.
Blockchain and Emerging Health Systems
Linkedln
August 28, 2022
Using smart contracts, Blockchain can ensure that donor funds reach intended recipients in a transparent way without middlemen and leakage along the way. Aid delivery can be tracked with transparently recorded “weigh-stations” showing location in the supply chain and ultimate delivery.
We are all reeling with the rapidly transforming digital environment – blockchain, artificial intelligence, big data and machine learning are set to change our world in ways we can only begin to imagine. The future of work, of society and of government are in question. I am a “baby boomer” and I have realised that we have to “unlearn” some very basic beliefs and social norms, to prepare for the new “so called” 4th industrial revolution. Here are some things I have “unlearned.”
Metaverse, Token Economies, and Chronic Diseases
Global Health Journal
July 06, 2022
Rapid advancements in technology and computing power, combined with the convergence of Blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), extended reality, gamification, and decentralized finance (DeFi), have led to recent growth in interest in the Metaverse. Indeed today, there are more than 160 Metaverse projects, and Citi estimates it could be a $13 trillion industry by 2030. While many have not yet grasped the relevance of the Metaverse for industries, the opportunity to leverage the Metaverse for health and wellness is substantial. In obesity and chronic disease, there is potential to deploy the metaverse using gamification and incentives, as well as for education and care. This Perspective article explores how the Metaverse could be used to prevent and manage obesity and chronic diseases.
Why DAO Governance Matters for DeFi
Dr Jane Thomason
May 10, 2022
Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs) are “non-hierarchical organizations that perform and record routine tasks on a peer-to-peer, cryptographically secure, public network, and rely on the voluntary contributions of their internal stakeholders to operate, manage, and evolve the organization through a democratic consultation process”. DAOs are in common use for DeFi and conservatively oversee more than $480 million. DeFi DAOs help users transfer cryptocurrencies across different blockchains, and serve popular DeFi use cases such as crypto lending or yield farming.
5 Frontier Technologies to Improve Health in Emerging Economies
Dr Jane Thomason
February 06, 2022
The pandemic, chronic disease, rising costs, an ageing population, limited resources, health worker shortages, and a data explosion are converging to accelerate digital health globally. WHO has launched a major transformative agenda on digital health, “The use and scale up of digital health solutions can revolutionize how people worldwide achieve higher standards of health, and access services to promote and protect their health and well-being.”
3 ways to unleash the potential of women entrepreneurs
Dr Jane Thomason
February 01, 2022
“Women are experts in identifying real problems, and figuring out efficient solutions… innovation should be encouraged and if it can be commercialised to create an entrepreneur that actively contributes to our economy, it’s a win for everyone.” Mona Endehipa, from the Women’s Business and Resource Centre in Port Moresby, PNG.
MetaHealth: How will the Metaverse Change Health Care
Journal of Metaverse
December 31, 2021
We are living in a digital age, and the Pandemic has accelerated innovation in health care and has surfaced new business models and opportunities for health. Beyond the applications in telehealth, supply chain, payments, secure data sharing, and remote monitoring are also essential innovations in Blockchain and Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) that allow people to exchange value on a decentralized network. Futurists and technologists are also exploring how the Metaverse can play a role in different sectors. This Commentary aims to explore how the Metaverse may be used in the future to change, enhance, and possibly transform health care. The five covered areas are collaborative working, education; clinical care, wellness, and monetization.
Vale 2021 – Digital Alchemists and the Spirit of Decentralization
Dr Jane Thomason
December 15, 2021
For all the havoc that the Pandemic wrought, it forced people to stay home and developers, gamers and enthusiastic amateurs have created unprecedented progress and using their digital alchemy, have created breathtaking profits from DeFi, new sources of income from gaming and magical new worlds in the metaverse , where people can earn 6 figures for avatar fashion! Not to mention the current NFT frenzy. You can now buy Bitcoin in Walmart, opening it up to 220m weekly customers.

Global Health Journal

This commentary shows the exponential growth of digital health and the accompanying explosion of health data. It discusses three major shifts in the global health landscape. The first will be the move of the big tech companies into healthcare, the second will be the monetization of consumer data and the creation of health data marketplaces; and the third will be the growth of Asia as a leader in digital health. Big tech already has the advantage of a massive consumer base, data and analytics which enable them to understand consumers; and complementary technologies, like wearables, that will drive the consumerization of healthcare. This expansion can happen quickly and already is creating challenges for regulators as they try to catch up. The vast volumes of data and the ability of technology such as blockchain to enable data owners to monetize their data, will lead to the development of health data marketplaces, which can connect and monetize data for data owners and make it available for scientific discovery. The developments in self-sovereign identity, will make it possible for individuals to monetize their health data in the future. Finally, we see the emergence of Asia as a powerhouse for the digital health of the future, with vast populations, mobile technology and increasing adoption of wearable devices. Consumer focused health care driven by data will change the institutional models of the past.
Can tech empower poor women and improve social inclusion?
Dr Jane Thomason
September 14, 2021
the answer should be a resounding yes! There are now more mobile-connected devices in the world than there are people. More than 4.5 billion people now use the internet, and social media users exceed 3.8 billion, mobile connects 71% of the world population. 300 million new users came online in 2020, the majority from emerging economies. This provides a unique opportunity to reach people who have hitherto been on the fringes of the economic system. In particular, for illiterate people, many of whom are women, voice based input is a game changer.
Collaboration for Global Social Impact
Dr Jane Thomason
August 18, 2021
Technologists are often working in a vacuum advancing technology, with a limited understanding of different social, institutional, infrastructure and cultural contexts. For technology to work, it has to be scaled to suit the context. Governments and international institutions can help shape the application of technology for maximum social benefit and to protect the interests of the poor and vulnerable. Collaboration to understand the political economy for implementation is especially important as intermediaries will be removed and the implications of this change will be a key aspect to integrating this change into public sector work.

Global Integrity – Being a Complete Person
Dr Jane Thomason
June 16, 2021
We live in a world where more than one billion people in the world live on less than one dollar a day, and 2.7 billion struggle to survive on less than two dollars per day. There are no social safety nets for them and they have poor health, poor education and poor infrastructure.
Can Central Banks Survive the Era of Digital Currencies?
Dr Jane Thomason
January 01, 2021
The Covid-19 pandemic has led to unprecedented public concerns about viral transmission via cash. The number of internet searches pertaining to both “cash” and “virus” is at record highs. Covid-19 has also demonstrated the inefficiency of existing payment mechanisms for distributing government aid to individuals and businesses, in a fast inexpensive and efficient manner. These factors are accelerating the replacement of cash with Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).

Applied Ethics in a Digital World
Information Science Reference
November 01, 2021
As advances in disruptive technologies transform politics and increase the velocity of information and policy flows worldwide, the public is being confronted with changes that move faster than they can comprehend.

Web3 – The Heartbeat of the Open Metaverse
Infotech
December 11, 2024
The term “Metaverse” itself is derived from the fusion of “meta” (signifying “beyond”)
and “verse” (an abbreviation of “universe”), suggesting a realm transcending physical
reality. It foreshadows a networked constellation of virtual worlds wherein individuals
can engage in various activities, including work, recreation, and social interactions.
Web3, in conjunction with AI, will be integrated into Metaverses, where people
can interact, learn, exchange, and have new immersive experiences. A profoundly
transformational aspect of Web3 Metaverses will be the creation of community-
owned economies, known as decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs). With
blockchain and smart contracts, community rules can be encoded, and digital assets
allow members to exchange value within a token economy. The chapter describes a
future world of greater decentralisation, a new data economy, and a world where the
open Metaverse, powered by Web3, will provide social utility across multiple sectors.

COVID and the New World Order ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS FROM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY THOUGHT LEADERS
Fintech.tv
September 16, 2020
This White Paper is a contribution to thinking on the world after COVID-19. This is not intended to be a formal research paper. Rather, we have taken inspiration from Fintech.TV’s Global Distributed Policy Thinkathon Series, where we brought together global thought leaders to consider future challenges, and built on it to produce a view of our world and its challenges, and the fresh new thinking and technologies that can help to solve these and enable us to build back better as we emerge from the Pandemic. Our intention is to provoke ideas, discussion and debate, and our hope is that it serves as a call to action across a diverse readership.
We look at three moments in time: January 2020 (before the Pandemic); July 2020 (during the Pandemic), and the Future. What have we experienced, what have we learned, and what can we expect? Never before has the future been so uncertain, and we need to prepare for what is coming. Join us in that journey of exploration.

2024 Predictions for Sustainability
Date : December 12, 2023
Technological advances will facilitate new insights and accurate measurement of sustainability. Big data, automation, artificial intelligence, big data, and platformization will drive sustainability measurement, investment, and transparency. Investor demand will make sustainability performance essential for securing capital, both debt and equity. Investment decisions will be data-driven with precise impact measurement allowing investors to monitor the progress of their investments toward sustainability outcomes. Consumers will demand that companies have sustainability strategies. We will see AI algorithms using social media data to provide insights into the positive or negative effects of a company's actions on society. Web 3.0, will be the infrastructure that connects social and environmental values between companies and people (such as green bonds, social impact bonds, company loyalty schemes, and carbon accounting).
Gen Z will continue to lead in Metaverse adoption, but increasingly Gen Alpha will drive its shape and future, they grew up digitally and their world is already phygital. The most widely adopted Metaverse will be a mobile, augmented reality, and 5 G enabled. Governments will see the public benefits of the Metaverse and will increasingly encourage its use for health care, public services, education and collaboration.
Institutional investment in crypto will continue to grow in Bitcoin, Ether, security tokens and stablecoins. As publicly traded blockchain stocks become available, they will attract more institutional investors. The key use case for NFTs in the future will be to represent ownership of a specific digital asset, and act as a permanent record of the transfer of that asset. They will be used to tokenise licenses, academic credentials and certificates and authenticate and preserve the ownership of the documents, and verify the uniqueness and validity of physical goods. Regulatory breakthroughs will reduce barriers to crypto adoption.
"As 2030 looms closer, there will be an increasing sense of urgency to achieve the SDGs, and a realisation that they will not be achieved without large scale deployment of Tech for Sustainability. Large scale use of big data will and analytics be key to predict, measure and report across the SDGs, combined with AI, Blockchain, IoT and 5G. Mobile technology combined with Blockchain and gamification will be used to incentivise large scale community action, combined with the power of the influencer economy to drive concerted action".
