DISEASE PREVENTION IN THE FUTURE

Personalized vaccines

Cancer vaccines are a type of immunotherapy that aims to teach the immune system how to recognize and eliminate cancer cells. Vaccines have been shown to be beneficial in preventing viral and bacterial illnesses. Each person's tumor is distinct in some way and has its own set of antigens. Personalized vaccinations will only be expressed by tumor cells and not by healthy cells in the patient. Immune responses could be directed precisely towards patients' tumor cells with vaccinations, protecting their healthy cells from immune attack and thus preventing side effects.


Health Trackers and Sensors

The future of disease prevention will be the employment of a body chip that can check your body temperature, cell disinformation, and any other irregularity. The chip will be directly linked to your phone and your doctor's phone, and it will provide you with fast notifications if your cell structure changes. The research is still in its infancy, with a designer attempting to construct cell marker sensors that can detect cancer early on. Health sensors and trackers for breathing, sleep, and movement, as well as new data processing and reporting, will provide sufficient information on an individual's health pattern, making disease detection and prevention easier.


Genomics

Researchers have already utilized gene editing to make mosquitos that are almost completely resistant to the malaria parasite. The female is fertilized by a genetically modified mosquito, which then produces male eggs. Because only female Anopheles mosquitoes transmit the plasmodium that causes malaria, this breakthrough will allow for comprehensive malaria control at a low cost and with no environmental impact. The project is currently being evaluated in Kenya, Botswana, Nigeria, and Uganda, with promising results. We eagerly anticipate a malaria-free Africa.


Nanotechnology

In Africa, diabetes is the most frequent noncommunicable disease. Diabetes must be detected early to be treated and cured as quickly as possible. Future innovation promises to build a microchip that will measure daily sugar levels in persons at risk and provide mapping and a sugar metabolism framework that will offer appropriate data for sugar management before the outset of the disease for easy control with food rather than medicine. The technology is still in the testing phase, but the results have already helped patients throughout the world better their health.


3D bioprinting

Researchers and healthcare practitioners can use bioprinters and bioprinting materials to create ready-to-print or use models for 3D cell culture, personalized medicine, and improved therapies. The breakthrough technology will be used to print liver, cartilage, skin, and even fully functional cancer tumors, which will subsequently be utilized to develop novel cancer treatments.


Health Marketing

Health Marketing is a novel method that incorporates science-based preventive, promotion and protection strategies into classic marketing ideas and principles. Afya Bora Afrika is a health marketing and connection platform. Because the future relies on technology for quick access and service delivery, Afya Bora Afrika is designed to provide individuals in both urban and rural locations with easy access to all health issues. Afya Bora Afrika will improve health education, awareness, and link clients to recognized and certified health practitioners through the internet of things. People will be able to take care of their health and wellbeing thanks to health education and awareness provided through the internet and social media platforms.
