Short Form Professional Development Videos -Long-Term Drivers of Future Mortality: The Role of Technology Recording

The video, by Kara Clark, explains how technology is a major long-term driver of future mortality, drawing on Chapter 8 of the SOA Research Institute’s Long-Term Drivers of Future Mortality report. Advances in connectivity, wearables, data, and AI are improving health monitoring, early detection, and medical decision-making, with the potential to prevent harm and extend healthy life. At the same time, these technologies introduce new risks, including misinformation, privacy concerns, unequal access, and the possibility of widening health disparities. Overall, technology offers a hopeful but complex outlook for mortality, with its ultimate impact depending less on invention and more on how wisely, equitably, and securely these tools are applied.
