Future in Review is an action-oriented annual conference that provides executives and investors with a roadmap for the next 5-10 years of technology and the global economy. Started in 2003 by the team behind Strategic News Service, Future in Review is a gathering place for global leaders using technology to change the world for the better. FiRe’s intimate size and trust-based culture cultivate lon

g-term relationships between speakers and attendees that drive innovation, strategy, partnerships, investments, and recruiting. Strategic News Service is the world’s most reliable source of advanced information at the intersection of technology and economics. Its publicly graded prediction rate in these areas is unmatched, and its success in pointing out critically important new strategic issues to global thought leaders – often in their own areas of expertise – is well-established. Our goal is to produce dynamically useful, focused information not available anywhere else. We are proud that Accenture, Nuance, Symantec, Intel, Adobe, Deutsche Telekom, and other great companies have chosen to provide the SNS Weekly Report to their entire teams, in recognition of its standing as a powerful competitive weapon.

AI, Medical Devices & Patient-Driven Health

Ziva Health CEO Parveen Panwar and CureMetrix CEO Navid Alipour joined host Berit Anderson, FiRe COO, for a FiRe 2025 conversation covering rapid advances in AI, devices, and medicine that can help to fill the gaps in the healthcare system.

Panwar described Ziva's continuous-care platform for patient health data so medical professionals can see the entire data set collected by devices such as Apple watches and Oura rings. The company is focused on collecting, summarizing, and running anomaly and pattern checks on data to alert doctors when a patient's health state is changing. CureMetrix, Alipour explained, is using AI tools to detect breast arterial calcification in women, flagging patients whose angiogram data shows calcification, making it easier for medical staff to find and diagnose calcification of the arteries in the breast. This helps to find heart disease faster and earlier for a demographic whose early signs of heart disease often go unreported and who have fewer symptoms than do men.

This week in the SNS Global Report …
Scott Foster reports out on the state of Asia in Q4, covering everything from Japan's "revolving door" leadership and ICE arrests of 400 S. Koreans in the US to China's train surplus and the status of endangered Amur tigers in Korea.

See why Scott says: “Opposition parties are criticizing Japan’s LDP for creating a political vacuum in the midst of crisis, while the business press is writing about a vacuum in economic policy." In this week's Global Report: "ASIA LETTER: Q4 2025 AMUR TIGER BACK FROM THE BRINK."

We’re thrilled to welcome bestselling science-fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson for a very special Spark salon focused on scenario planning and climate solutions.

We’ll be discussing scalable, actionable climate solutions that can carry the Earth and its inhabitants beyond the year 2100. Join Robinson and Spark host Berit Anderson for an interactive conversation about what’s working, as well as barriers to our most successful solutions and how to overcome them.

Happening next Thursday, October 9, at 10-11am PT.
RSVP today to secure your complimentary spot in the room: https://bit.ly/3KuEEL1

As always, these virtual salons are off-the-record, not recorded, and held under Chatham House Rule to foster candid dialogue and collaboration. So your presence truly matters.

Have questions for Stan Robinson? So do we. So about half the program will be reserved for audience Q&A.

This is one Spark you, and your community, won’t want to miss. We'd love for you to share this invitation with friends and colleagues. (As always, non-SNS members are welcome to attend one Spark on the house.)
We look forward to seeing you for what promises to be a powerful discussion.

About Our Guest:
Kim Stanley Robinson is the internationally acclaimed author of the Mars Trilogy, The Ministry for the Future, and more than 20 other novels. His visionary work – translated into 24 languages – has shaped global conversations about climate, technology, economics, and the future.

The Atlantic has called Robinson's work "the gold standard of realistic, and highly literary, science-fiction writing."

In a recent profile, the New Yorker wrote that he is "generally acknowledged as one of the greatest living science-fiction writers."

Robinson brings a unique blend of scientific insight, storytelling, and policy imagination to the table.

We hope to see you there.

Quantifying Wellbeing

Annika Lundström, co-founder and CEO of the new cortisol-tracking medical startup ReMinded, joined host Berit Anderson, FiRe COO, onstage for a one-on-one session at Future in Review 2025.

Lundström, a molecular bioscientist and former Youth Olympian in table tennis, described the need for better tracking of cortisol levels to understand how stress levels affect our mental health. ReMinded has developed a saliva test for cortisol, enabling medical staff to continuouslytrack those levels in patients with PTSD, addiction, and other mental-health issues and cross-reference that data with other aspects of treatment.

Click through to see the full session and hear how advances in saliva testing can lead to improved mental health and stress regulation.

This week in the SNS Global Report …

Berit Anderson tackles the bursting bubble of AI hype. AI is here to stay, but corporate leaders, forced to grapple with its geopolitical, economic, and logistical realities, are moving on from the hype. Only media, investors, and the model builders themselves are still holding the line.

See why Berit says: “As soon as Chinese firms can replicate or replace Nvidia’s chips, they will. And they won’t hesitate to cut off Nvidia in the same way they have other firms, flooding the rest of the world with cheaper-than-Nvidia knockoffs." In this week's Global Report: "THE REVERSE AI TSUNAMI BEGINS."
