Wearables have evolved far beyond step counters, now tracking chronic conditions and detecting early health warning signs. As the global wearable market is projected to grow 576% over the next decade, the question remains: can we trust the algorithms and systems powering these devices?



We discuss:


How wearables evolved from gym-floor step counters into everyday tools for managing chronic conditions


What digital biomarkers are


The real risk of false reassurance and false alarms 


What’s next for the technology behind these devices

Banking, insurance, and capital markets have been built on trust, regulation, and decades of infrastructure. Now AI is rewriting the rules, and the institutions that don't adapt may not survive.



We discuss:


How AI agents acting on behalf of customers could wipe out a significant chunk of global banking profits, and whether traditional banks can fight back.


Where the human analyst still fits in an AI-accelerated workflow.


From braking patterns to user data, how real-time behavioural pricing is replacing credit scores


Why brilliant technology alone doesn't protect you from the fundamentals of insurance, and what that cautionary tale means for the wider fintech sector.
