Crowd Economies on the Rise
The central idea behind collaborative consumption, or “The Sharing
Economy” is that access to goods and skills is more important than
ownership of them. This movement represents a major economic, social
and cultural shift and is redefining the ways goods and services are
exchanged, valued and created.

Wearable Computing
Wearable devices are on the rise now, exploding into a variety of form
factors and purposes, but, as soon as 2016, Forrester analyst James
McQuivey predicts that many of these devices will already be gone, their
functionality absorbed by other sensors and devices, such as
smartphones and sensor-laden headphones, another possible reason
Apple acquired Beats.

E-Commerce
The way we shop is changed forever. From the availability of custom
options to improvements in virtual sizing, everything is now possible in an
online experience. Ecommerce retailers that started out as online stores
seem to be quicker at adopting new technologies than the more
traditional companies. If traditional companies are to catch up, they must
find more synergy between their ecommerce effort and their bricks and
mortar shops.

The reinvention of Healthcare
The smartphone revolution, 3D printing and the omnipresence of sensors
are impacting healthcare in a major way: how it is prescribed, delivered,
and checked. Over the next few years, key innovations are going to hit
the consumer market - and we're bringing some of these innovators to
LeWeb. Our session on the Future of Healthcare will feature a group of
pioneers in neurostimulation, microbiome exploration and preventive
medecine who introduce the audience to the latest developments in their
respective domains.

Daniel Chao

27. The real future of healthcare for 75% of us is behavior change, not
traditional medicine. We’re on a mission to inspire people to change
the specific habits that put them at risk for serious but preventable
disease. And to do so in a way that is as effective, engaging, and
affordable as possible
Sean Duffy
Co-Founder and CEO of Omada Health

28. Our microbes outnumber human cells 10:1. Like the rainforest, the
healthy human microbiome is a balanced ecosystem. Microbes
perform essential functions such as digesting food and synthesizing
vitamins. Studies have also linked the microbiome to human mood
and behavior, as well as gut health, human development, and
metabolic disorders.

The Maker Movement is taking new and unique applications of
technologies to a new level. Innovation in robotics and 3-D printing, for

design and hardware. Once viewed as a subculture, this movement has
definitely entered the mainstream.

filming movies to watching farmland. We get a look at the latest
