The Japanese edition of 'WIRED' released its latest issue, 'Future of Health: The Future of Living,' on Wednesday, April 22. This issue is a comprehensive feature that marks the first-ever launch in Japan of 'WIRED Health,' a global project focusing on the future of the healthcare sector by 'WIRED', the global media brand that conveys the future possibilities available to everyone.
When super-longevity is realized through the advancement of AI and longevity tech, how will the 'meaning of living' be updated? What kind of healthcare will people choose, with what kind of bodies, spending what kind of time, and desiring what kind of society? This issue explores these possibilities from multiple angles.
The cover story features Aoi Yamada and Ikebana artist/creator Yuji Ueno. Amidst flowers arranged as if blooming proudly and the lingering resonance of their echoing performance, a dialogue emerges that highlights the meaning of life and expression in the AI era.
In addition to this, the theme is explored deeply through a variety of diverse projects.
- Next-generation wellness tourism where 'environment' and 'body' are inseparable
- Proposals from a physician-scientist broadcasting 'next-generation healthcare' to the world
- The challenge of creator Tsuyoshi Takashiro, who pours his efforts into the 'democratization of medicine'
- Japan's first startup bringing innovation to health using AI
- Trends of tech billionaires investing in health-tech
- A questionnaire that reframes a future without aging
- A story by sci-fi author Yuba Isukari that sharply depicts the fluctuation of emotions in a society that has conquered aging
- Interviews visioning the 150-year lifespan era from the perspectives of robotics, bioethics, and social philosophy... and more
