When Health, Technology and Aging Collide

This week on What’s the Focus, we look at three very different stories tied together by one underlying theme: how societies adapt under pressure. First, a major global study warns that mental disorders have now become the leading cause of disability worldwide, raising urgent questions about whether healthcare systems, workplaces, and communities are equipped for the scale of the crisis. Then we turn to Ferrari’s controversial new electric vehicle, the Luce, and what the backlash says about technology, identity, and the uneasy transition into the EV era. And finally, with Malaysia rapidly becoming an aging society, we examine the growing debate over whether older drivers should undergo medical assessments before renewing their licences, and how to balance road safety with dignity and independence.Image Credit: ShutterstockSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
