Humanity suffers from too little exercise and too much stress. Increasingly, these factors become a huge burden on our health system. At the same time, humans are developing a new relationship with their bodies and minds due to the global pandemic, and lifestyle-driven prevention is becoming more important than ever. To help us create healthy lifestyle practices on a global scale, technology is becoming a crucial factor. Investors in the U.S., for example, have poured $2.4 billion into fitness startups in 2020 – more than ever before.
Tech or Die?“We believe that the fitness industry needs to embrace technology - or die out”, says Natalia Karbasova, CEO FitTech Company. “We are witnessing a new wave of technology-driven startups and tech giants entering the fitness, health and wellbeing space at a break-neck pace and will change the business of fitness as we know it for good”.
Topics of virtual Fitech Summit V: Big Tech, Interfaces and AI
“We will not only look at existing successful solutions, but will also imagine a world of the future in which every aspect of human health and performance is augmented by software and hardware”, says Natalia Karbasova. More than 20 global visionaries will discuss in ten panels (in English) why technology is more important than ever to make humanity healthy, again, in these tracks:
1. Big Tech Attack: How will tech giants or major tech innovations from other industries impact the fitness & health world? #bighealth #blockchain #fintech
2. The Interface Race: What types of device form-factors will win the race for the real estate of our homes - and bodies? #fitnessmirrors #sleeptech #smartapparel
3. Me, Myself and AI: How is artificial intelligence augmenting the relationship we have to our bodies? #femfittech #transhumanism #fitfiction
