Dejan Milojicic highlights health technology as the most transformative megatrend for humanity by 2030.

Health technology is projected to have the largest impact on humanity over the next five years, according to a new report from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Dejan Milojicic, an IEEE fellow and chair of the IEEE Future Directions Committee Industry Advisory Board, noted that the shift from reactive treatment to proactive protection is driving this transformation. The report identifies personalized medicine, genetic engineering, and early disease diagnostics as high-impact areas that will reshape the healthcare industry. Simultaneously, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has released a report outlining the regulatory framework for AI in healthcare. The MHRA findings emphasize the need for a proportionate, lifecycle-based approach to regulation and a shared responsibility for continuous post-market surveillance. Alastair Denniston, chair of the National Commission into the Regulation of AI in Healthcare, stated that while AI offers benefits in quality and safety, regulators must actively engage with these technologies to ensure governance systems match the risks and benefits.
