Apple Vision Pro
This week, I would like to talk about the impact of recent technological innovations on our life together. More specifically, it is about how Apple Vision Pro is an essential first achievement among other early technological innovations that paint a clear picture of the near future. In this future, we will have to be mindful of how we will use such innovations. This is what this newsletter (and my keynotes) are always about: considering what is most important to each of us, namely our health and well-being.
For this newsletter, kick back your feet and listen to the following musical perfection by former Portishead lead singer Beth Gibbons:
"Without control, I'm heading towards a boundary that divides us."
Let's get this party started.

You probably won't have missed the launch of the Apple Vision Pro: from the influencers who walked down the street with it to the fantastic feature reveals and the health complaints (neck pain, dizziness, dry eyes, etc...) that were reason enough to return the device. Opinions were clearly divided. Some thought it was an iPhone moment. Others refused to see a future in which such glasses would fill our daily lives.
We also discussed it on The Healthusiasm Podcast with our Panel, especially the role the device could have in health and self-care. Remarkably enough, the launch of the Apple Vision Pro was not about health or even sports. But in this episode, we discussed several possible applications: telemedicine and Chronic pain treatment (e.g. Jolly Good), medical education and training (e.g. Complete HeartX health app, CyranoHealth, CellWalk), surgical assistance (e.g. eXeX), mental health treatments (e.g. multiple patients onwards).
Many of these applications are similar to what VR-only devices are doing. An exception may have been the early diagnosis, with the advanced eye-tracking technology capable of picking up conditions such as vertigo or even early signs of a stroke or dementia. This is currently being studied by Medical researchers at Essen University Hospital in Germany. Can the Apple Vision Pro analyse eye movements to surface such warnings?
But the panel discussion between Mo Zouina , Dr. Keith Grimes , Aline Noizet and myself went a lot further: be sure to check it out via this link: https://www.christophejauquet.com/healthusiasm/podcast
The Healthusiasm Take:
Whether you are a fan of the Apple Vision Pro or not, it is interesting to place it within other technological innovations that are increasingly emerging. I am thinking of the many objects around us that collect data on which we can unleash an intelligent algorithm: Our wearables collect information about our bodies; electric cars with self-driving ambitions collect data about the objects they pass; heating systems try to capture the environment; and so forth. The entire world (and ourselves) is thus converted into data that Artificial Intelligence can use. But the more data we collect, the easier it becomes to build a virtual version of reality in parallel (metaverse) or as a virtual layer on top of the real world (Augmented reality) with which ...
