Predictive medicine: Grey matter and grey areas

33m · Transforming business with MinterEllison: ideas and challenges that are shaping our future Podcast · 19 Aug 06:46

As technology unravels the mysteries of the human mind, deeper, more intimate knowledge is now in the hands of health providers and businesses.

Emerging technologies are changing the way that health providers treat patients, and the way businesses interact with customers, employees and other stakeholders. In theory, this should change society for the better – but will it?

In this episode, we spoke with Professor Nita Farahany, a leading American scholar, on the ethical, legal, and social implications of emerging technologies and MinterEllison partner Jonathan Kelp to investigate the extraordinary leaps being made in medical technology – and the monumental impact these will have on the future of business and the health sector.
