Health trends have fast expiration dates. Social media cannot be fully trusted with these matters, and group conversations about wellness are not without misinformation. Now people take health into their own hands. The global wellness market is expected to reach $7 trillion by 2025, up from $4.37 trillion in 2020 – here’s what “feeling good” will look like in 2023.
Feel it, own it
Extraordinary times mean extraordinary measures. Self-monitoring devices are thriving. Because preventative care is taken so seriously, health tools like wearable sensors, in-home diagnostic kits, and websites or apps that collect vital data in real time are here to stay. Globally, the market for such technologies is set to grow from $48.7 billion in 2021 to $185.9 billion by 2026. “Monitoring simple things like blood pressure, blood sugar, blood oxygen level, lung function, and even an ECG at home helps prevent This year, 5G-powered health devices, wire-free electrocardiographs (ECGs), tube analytics, biosensors, biochips and smart clothing will improve personal health and efficiency, says Dr. Bimal Sen, M.D. Esoteric in Gurugram.
Organize, educate
According to Statista, about 14 percent of Indians suffer from some form of mental disorder. The low number of mental health care providers — 0.75 psychiatrists and psychologists per person (the appropriate number should be higher than three, according to the Indian Journal of Psychiatry) — makes self-care essential. Pen-and-paper tools such as crayons and notes, and digital solutions such as apps and websites that teach meditative walking or emotional diffusion, are increasingly being used.
“They build tremendous self-awareness that helps the affected people wean themselves off maladaptive behaviors and imbibe progressive behaviors. Increasing awareness allows them to recognize early signs of any mental or physical illness that can be managed in the nascent stage itself,” says Delhi-based psychotherapist Rachit. Gene.
Expert opinion is also that primary prevention, the area of preventive care that looks at fetal development will grow. “This focuses on the first months of pregnancy, and involves educating the parents about the epigenetic influences such as stress, environment, and food on the structure of the genome to prevent any medical setback,” says Jain.
Repair on the go
The fast-growing bioimplants market will see a proliferation of engineered devices that support or replace biological structures, according to Maximize Market Research, an India-based healthcare market research firm.
IIT Kharagpur, which set up a state-of-the-art bioelectronics innovation laboratory in 2018 to create implantable biological devices, is developing battery-free devices to treat disorders of the brain, nerves, muscles and spinal cord. Globally, the next frontier is flexible pain management implants that are flexible, dissolvable, and relieve pain without the use of drugs.
A team of researchers at Northwestern University in the United States has developed one such implant that can be wrapped around the nerves causing pain during surgery, which provides targeted cooling, thus numbing the area. When it is not needed, it is simply absorbed by the body.
Let it coincide
Cycle synchronization is a way of aligning a woman’s lifestyle with the four menstrual phases – menarche, follicle, ovulation, and luteal. It begins by tracking each stage and adapting your exercise, nutrition, rest, and sleep regimen in a way that supports them, thus regulating hormones, improving fertility, and helping to manage disease. Women have long suffered from menstrual imbalances. It’s time to make the most of those phases to improve mood and productivity, and reduce symptoms (if started early) of PMS, dysmenorrhea, fibroids, and PCOD”
The fruits of external activities
Sweden has more night than sun. Hence Swedes love to stay outside, walk, bike, canoe, fish, hunt, hike and trek. Dubbed Friluftsliv or outdoor living, this Nordic passion for nature became a universal appeal during lockdown when movement was entirely restricted. “People have realized the importance of the great outdoors in a big way, making walking, wildlife watching, relaxing outside alone and nature photography a reality,” says Mumbai-based life coach Sid Malhotra, adding that “Friluftsliv topped the value
of human life and for this reason, will continue to find resonance in times to come.” It is occasional, but it will become essential.
next frontier
Chronobiology
New research shows that the body responds better to medication if it is in keeping with its circadian rhythm. The science of circadian rhythms, the 24-hour cycle of light and dark and seasonal change, will become mainstream.
Industrial magic mushrooms
Because naturally occurring molecules like norbiocysteine, pyocysteine, psilocybin, norpicilucin, and erogenacin cannot be patented, startup companies are creating synthetic blends to relieve symptoms of depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and other mental health conditions.
gerontology
The slogan “I’ll be older later” would make the thriving longevity industry the largest and most complex in human history. It goes beyond biomedicine, to include advances in preventive care, artificial intelligence, AgeTech, mitochondrial rejuvenation, supplementation, aging and finance.
