Technologies like generative artificial intelligence (AI), spatial computing with augmented and virtual reality, advanced virtual care, and wearable IoT devices are becoming closely aligned to our daily routines. This, ultimately, enables real-time health tracking, personalized feedback, and immersive health and wellness experiences that were once limited to the domain of science fiction.
