Professor Marc Cohen (aka Dr Marc) MBBS (Hons), PhD (TCM), PhD (Elec Eng), BMed Sci (Hons), FAMAC, FICAE

Dr Marc Cohen is a medical doctor, university professor, author, poet, entrepreneur, wellness trailblazer and perpetual student of life who embodies the role of a bridge-builder, connecting ancient wisdom with modern science, academia with industry, and individual well-being with global health. Dr Marc believes wellness can be just as contagious as illness and aims to co-create a culture of wellness that infects the world with good health. You can find him at www.drmarc.co

He will be discussing
Ancient Future Medicine: Touch and Real-World Experiences in the Age of AI
As artificial intelligence and virtual technologies reshape healthcare and society, the value of real human connection, touch, and embodied experience is rapidly increasing. Drawing on decades of experience in integrative medicine, wellness research, hydrothermal therapies, and the global wellness industry, Dr Cohen explores why ancient wellness practices such as massage, bathing, heat and cold therapy, breathwork, fermentation, and human connection may become even more valuable in the future and why massage therapists and myotherapists may be uniquely positioned to thrive in an increasingly virtual world.
