Happy, Healthy New Year: What the Future Holds

New research. New technology. New possibilities.

On this special 2025 Rewind and Look Ahead episode of “Conversations on Health Care,” hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter turn their focus to the breakthroughs, discoveries and innovators shaping what comes next. “Health innovations and breakthroughs that seemed impossible years ago became closer to reality in 2025,” says Mark.

We revisit pivotal conversations with leaders driving real-world change, including:

1. Samantha Hutten (Michael J. Fox Foundation) on accelerating Parkinson’s research
2. Dr. Nora Volkow (National Institute on Drug Abuse) on addiction science and policy
3. Drs. Robert Pearl and Brian Anderson on the promise and risks of AI in health care
4. Dr. Kenneth Cooper, whose prevention-first vision is influencing modern care models

We also learned about major developments in Long COVID research, including global studies and clinical investigations aimed at understanding its causes and long-term impact.
