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.
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.

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.
"Choose wisely, or we will come to live in a terrible world”
LinkedIn
December 07, 2020
As Brian Patrick Green of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics points out “Technological power gives us new choices, but only ethics can tell us which among those new choices are actually good. And we must choose wisely, or we will come to live in a terrible world”.
Global Ethics and Data Governance
LinkedIn
November 04, 2020
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?
LinkedIn
October 25, 2020
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?
Cyber-ethics : Purpose & Social Responsibility
LinkedIn
October 15, 2020
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.
Building A Global Ethics Ecosystem - Challenges and Opportunities
LinkedIn
October 13, 2020
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.
Disbursement, decentralization and development: Lessons from the first rural health services project in Papua New Guinea
Wiley
October 01, 1988
In 1983 the Department of Health in Papua New Guinea decentralized the control of health services to provincial governments. In the same year a major rural health development project commenced in six of the nineteen provinces. Conflict arose between the centralized control required by the project and the decentralized health system. This article reviews the experience of the project implementators in trying to reconcile the philosophy and reality of decentralization with the centralized project design. Lessons point to the need for closer collaboration with beneficiaries during project design, formal clarification of responsibilities of national and provincial governments in implementation, institutional strengthening as a project input and the development of mechanisms for review and change during the course of implementation.
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. There is an urgent need to analyze and communicate the ethical issues of these advancements. In a perpetually updating digital world, data is becoming the dominant basis for reality. This new world demands a new approach because traditional methods are not fit for a non-physical space like the internet. Applied Ethics in a Digital World provides an analysis of the ethical questions raised by modern science, technological advancements, and the fourth industrial revolution and explores how to harness the speed, accuracy, and power of emerging technologies in policy research and public engagement to help leaders, policymakers, and the public understand the impact that these technologies will have on economies, legal and political systems, and the way of life. Covering topics such as artificial intelligence (AI) ethics, digital equity, and translational ethics, this book is a dynamic resource for policymakers, civil society, CEOs, ethicists, technologists, security advisors, sociologists, cyber behavior specialists, criminologists, data scientists, global governments, students, researchers, professors, academicians, and professionals.

Blockchain: an accelerator for women and children’s health?
Global Health Journal 1(1):3-10 DOI: 10.1016/S2414-6447(19)30055-7
June 08, 2017
The Global Investment Framework for Investing in Women’s and Children’s Health identifies the evidence based interventions in the 74 high burden countries that together account for more than 95% of maternal and child deaths worldwide. These interventions could prevent more than 147 million child deaths, 32 million stillbirths and save more than five million maternal lives between 2013 and 2035
We explore how blockchain technology could be a transformative accelerator enabling many of these interventions to reach the poor.

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.
