Our Program
To Sense is to Predict
Health challenges are accelerating worldwide, from rising noncommunicable diseases to climate linked exposures and emerging infectious threats. Although people are living longer, well-being is not keeping pace. In 2022, global life expectancy reached 73.6 years and is projected to reach 78.1 years by 2050, while healthy life expectancy grows more slowly. This widening gap shows that longer lives do not always mean healthier lives.
Effective health protection begins with awareness
Scientific progress in genomics and multi omics integration, CRISPR based diagnostics, advanced environmental monitoring, machine learning and real time data networks is expanding what can be detected and how quickly it can be interpreted. Sensing strengthens the shift from reactive care to proactive health by enabling earlier prediction of risks for individuals, communities and health systems. When these diverse signals are connected and interpreted together, they create a continuous view of emerging health needs and support earlier, better informed decisions.
The cost of inaction is significant
Chronic diseases are expected to contribute 47 trillion USD in global costs by 2030, and poor health reduced global GDP by an estimated 15 percent in 2020. At the same time, half of the world lacks full access to essential health services, limiting the reach of early detection. High tech sensing can identify risks before complications arise, while low tech and social sensing mechanism extends coverage and enables action where resources are limited. Together these approaches can help reduce avoidable costs and support more affordable and equitable prediction models.
What we aim to achieve
Transforming sensing into prediction requires connecting science, technology and practice into a coherent anticipatory health ecosystem. This edition of the Abu Dhabi Future Health Summit will explore how such integration can strengthen resilience, extend healthy life expectancy and support collaborative, scalable and sustainable solutions for global well-being.
