EARLIER this year, the MIT Technology Review invited Bill Gates to curate its list of 10 Breakthrough Technologies for 2019. From blood tests that predict a pregnant woman's risk of delivering a preemie to a tiny, swallowable device that can capture images of an infant's gut without the need for anaesthesia, this list is a good indication of how we will "invent the future".
In his introduction to the 2019 list, Mr Gates makes a prescient observation - technologies that alleviate chronic disease will be a big theme in a few years from now. Indeed, an undercurrent of revolutionary health technology is already propelling us into the future, changing lives of people with chronic conditions.
