Lara Lewington - "Hacking Humanity" Wednesday 8th October | 7:30-9:00pm
Technology broadcaster and journalist, Lara Lewington joins Alison Martin to talk about her latest book, "Hacking Humanity" - a deep dive into the ways new technology and AI could improve our lives now and kickstart a new age of personalised, predictive and preventative medicine.
From wearable tracking devices to weight loss drugs, menopause and lab grown organs, Hacking Humanity investigates how to reverse the signs of ageing and better treat (if not prevent) diseases such as cancer, heart disease and dementia.
This promises to be a fascinating insight into ways that we can use the technology available now to not just increase our lifespan but boost the amount of time we spend living in good health.
