Maneesh Juneja, Planetary Health Futurist
MJ Analytics Ltd
Maneesh Juneja is a Planetary Health
Futurist who explores the convergence of emerging technologies to see how they
can make the world a healthier and happier place, both for humans and for the
natural systems that support humanity’s existence. He looks at these
technologies in the context of socio-cultural, political and economic trends,
helping organisations around the world to think differently about the future.
He is passionate about ensuring that the
choices we make in society today result in a better future, not just for the
privileged few, but for everyone. In the quest for Net Zero, how we can
restructure the way we live, work and play so that we have the best possible chance of a “just transition” to a green
economy?
Building upon over a decade of working in
digital health, one of his core areas of research is looking at how the entire
healthcare industry can become sustainable, from an environmental perspective.
How can we continue to innovate, in a way
that will leave the planet in a better state for future generations? Who will
drive innovation in the 21st century, humans or autonomous agents powered by
AI, or a combination of both? What skills do workers need to stay relevant in
the future, whether it’s helping to combat climate change, or adapting to the
continued automation of highly skilled work by algorithms?
In 2022, his views on the future of 3D
printing of human organs have been featured as part of the Netflix docuseries,
The Future Of.
In a career spanning nearly three decades,

managing the Tesco database at DunnHumby,
working with the world’s largest U.S. health insurance claims &
European EHR databases at GSK R&D, and most recently, working as a Digital
Health Futurist.
