Top AI Companies, Gene Therapy Landscape & Digital Health For Intellectual Disabilities - The Monthly Digest From The Medical Futurist

Everything we've been working on in one dose Welcome to our once-a-month in-house newsletter, reporting on what we've done in the past weeks. We've been busy creating comprehensive overviews of key segments in our field, including curated lists of the best AI companies in healthcare, top bioprinting companies, and in a somewhat unconventional analysis we also looked into what happened around the genomics companies in the past almost one decade. Meanwhile, we toyed with interesting new ideas - like what kinds of new social dilemmas will arise when AI companions indeed become normal parts of our lives and analyzed how close we are to using gene therapies in everyday medicine. I hope you will find the newsletter useful!

[GENE THERAPY’S GIANT LEAP: FROM RARE CONDITIONS TO COMMON CURES]( --------------------------------------------------------------- We have seen incredible progress in gene therapies in the past decade, with many exciting results emerging just in the last year. From treating rare genetic disorders to targeting more common conditions, the potential of gene therapy has expanded remarkably. However, these treatments are still incredibly, frighteningly expensive costing hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars for a one-time treatment, so we cannot expect widespread use in the short term. But we have reasons for optimism. [READ MORE]( WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? With applications extending into broader fields that impact millions or even hundreds of millions of people, we may eventually develop therapies that are accessible and affordable for everyone.
