Dr. Victoria Veytsman On The Intersection Of Biotechnology And Dentistry

Can you tell us, with a background in science and beauty, what are you most excited about for the future of the beauty and wellness industry? This, to me is the most exciting question because I feel like biotech has been around for a really long time, but now with the advent of AI technology, it's really changing the landscape when it comes to personalized medicine and really allowing people to get the information they need to empower them with their own health. So as an example, like at home testing kits, you can tell test your microbiome at home, you can test your oral microbiome at home, you can test your gut microbiome at home. So we're really moving away from prescription pad dentistry to more unique bespoke treatment plans and also allowing people to have the information they need to be proactive and not reactive when it comes to their health. A lot of these AI platforms that you can find that give you information about your health, you can also get treatment recommendations, lifestyle changes. Some, I think, like empowering people to do that in the wellness space and also the beauty space, beauty tech, I find that absolutely fascinating. Wearables, for instance, you can track how much UV exposure you're getting and imagine what kind of information, what kind of lifestyle changes you can make with that. So it's really part of an overall integrated approach to health and really empowering people with the information they need.
