Continuous Health

This book explains the transition from hospital-centred, specialist-driven “sick-care” toward bio-digital ecosystems that are continuous, predictive, and personalised. It integrates: AI diagnostics and clinical reasoning support; digital biology and programmable therapeutics; immersive care (VR/AR, neural interfaces); gamified behaviour change and digital therapeutics; wearables/biometrics and bio-digital twins; and decentralised delivery models for emerging markets. It provides a unified narrative and framework for leaders (health systems, regulators, payers, investors, innovators, global health actors) to understand why the transformation is happening, what technologies are converging, and how political economy and incentives determine adoption. The book is designed to be decision-useful: it clarifies the incentive conflicts blocking prevention, and it surfaces concrete governance and financing implications.
