In a world where technology is increasingly woven into every corner of our lives, our two pieces this week explore the fine line between empowerment and overreach. From the risks of linking our health data to emerging digital ID systems, to the hidden ways sleep-tracking may be undermining our natural rhythms, these pieces highlight why protecting both our autonomy and our innate biology matters more than ever.
Rob Verkerk’s video brings to light how the UK’s Our Future Health study is amassing vast amounts of sensitive health data—much of it re-identifiable, despite claims of anonymisation.
Nonny’s second article on sleep issues a caution and ofrers a slew of positive solutions for the sleep challenged. She cautions that by turning rest into numbers, metrics and ‘scores’ with digital sleep tech, we may be drifting further from the natural rhythms our bodies evolved to follow.
Plus our bite-sized Natural News to keep you up to date with what’s happening around the world and important dates for our Pathfinders on the final two member-only activities for 2025!
