It is not good for us.

It doesn't cater for us getting the right amount of sleep, for switching off early in the evening.

The food environment's really bad.

Nothing around us is helping us.

Yes, there are plenty of exercise classes and gyms, but we're also all pushing ourselves to our absolute limits, which makes it really difficult because it's one thing to know what we should do to help ourselves, but another thing to actually be able to do it.

It's not just wanting to do it, but being able to do it.

No, and this is one of the big challenges in looking at future health.

Because AI has the ability to be able to bring better healthcare to all, especially in the UK where we've got the NHS, a lot of the AI platforms that we're looking at are things that are being brought into the NHS.

So just to put this into the context of actual things it can do,

AI could, for example, be an extra pair of eyes on a scan searching out tumors.

It could be helping a doctor take notes to allow them to have the more human experience.

Or it could be looking at micro movements in the face, changes in gaze pattern to be able to quantify depression in a way that no human ever could.

So it can be lots of different things.

There are many trials in the NHS that seen these things are successful, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they roll out because not every successful pilot can.

So the hope is that this is something that can democratise healthcare, make better healthcare for everyone.

But obviously there are challenges because there will be access to some things for those who can afford it first.

And that is the sad reality here.

And there are many people working in different ways trying to stop that from being the issue.

For example, I was talking to someone who was talking about biological age tests.

So these are tests that assess not your chronological age, but your biological age.
