EBN- As 2025 approaches, the focus on health is increasing, especially with the successive scientific developments that have contributed to the rise of health trends expected to be popular during the coming year.
The past years have witnessed technological developments and unique scientific research that may contribute in the near term to reducing the spread of chronic diseases. They also help improve the quality of life.
Health Trends 2025
In the new year we are waiting for radical changes in the world of health , because the results of previous developments are starting to appear. There are also new health concepts that we are waiting for to become more established. Here are the most important health trends in the new year:
Personalized medicine
You may have heard of this term before, it is known as Personalized Medicine. Personalized medicine is one of the most anticipated developments in 2025, and this trend relies on analyzing genes and environmental factors to provide personalized treatment for each patient. This strategy allows for more accurate diagnosis of diseases and treatments that suit the needs of each individual.
Personalized medicine is based on analyzing the patient’s DNA, and accordingly, effective medications and treatment plans are designed based on genetic characteristics.
Digital Psychotherapy
According the World Economic Forum, apps and programs that aim to improve mental health will become increasingly popular . Technologies such as digital cognitive behavioral therapy are expected to revolutionize the treatment of anxiety and depression.
This method is not new, as it has emerged since the Corona virus hit the world, but what we expect is more consolidation of these concepts, such as Calm and Headspace applications that offer meditation sessions and exercises to deal with stress. More advanced technologies are expected to emerge that use artificial intelligence (AI) to provide near-real-time psychological advice.
Therapeutic (functional) food
The reliance on foods that offer additional health benefits in addition to their nutritional value is expected to increase, according to a report from Harvard Health Publishing, as functional foods become an essential part of the daily diet.
Microbiome Therapy
The microbiome is the collection of microorganisms that live in the human body and plays a key role in overall health. Microbiome therapy is expected to become a major trend in 2025. According to reports, it can treat digestive diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome and boost the immune system by improving the balance of beneficial bacteria.
Environmental Health
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), environmental health is defined as “the aspects of health related to the physical, chemical and biological environment, including the assessment of environmental risks and the formulation of preventive policies to improve the quality of life.” With increasing awareness of the impact of the environment on health, environmental health will become an important trend in 2025. The coming year is expected to see a focus on reducing air pollution to improve respiratory health and developing smart cities that support physical movement such as cycling and walking.
