🎬 When it’s time to deliver, can health systems too?
Dear All, on the occasion of the World Health Summit 2026, we are pleased to invite you to a special side event in Berlin, bringing together film, evidence and dialogue to explore women’s health, safe and dignified birth, WASH, Universal Health Coverage and resilient health systems. 🌍💧
The event will consist of two parts:
Part 1 | 11:00–12:15 – Panel & Political Dialogue
A high-level discussion bringing together perspectives from midwifery, politics, global health and practice. Together, we will explore what health systems need to provide safe, dignified and quality care – and how maternal health, WASH, Universal Health Coverage and resilient health systems can be better connected.
Evidence from WaterAid’s recent Born Without Water study will bring particular attention to a fundamental but too often overlooked part of quality healthcare: safe water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in healthcare facilities.
Part 2 | 12:20–14:00 – Film Screening of WISE WOMEN
For those who would like to stay, we will screen Nicole Scherg’s documentary WISE WOMEN, which follows five midwives working in Ethiopia, Morocco, Nepal, Austria and Brazil. Director Nicole Scherg will join us in person.
You are very welcome to join us for the panel discussion only – participation in the film screening is optional. The event will be held in English. Coffee and networking from 10:30.
📅 11 October 2026 | 11:00–14:00
📍 delphi LUX Cinema, Berlin
☕ Doors open at 10:30 for coffee and networking

Chapter 9: Cultural Wisdom and Global Diets
Cultural Wisdom and Global Diets: A Narrative
In the contemporary landscape of global health, an appreciation for cultural wisdom and diverse dietary practices is becoming increasingly vital. This narrative delves into the rich tapestry of global diets, emphasizing how they inform clinical practice and contribute to holistic health outcomes. The integration of cultural knowledge with scientific advancements offers a transformative approach to nutrition and wellness.
Cultural Wisdom in Global Diets
Cultural wisdom encapsulates the traditional knowledge systems that have been passed down through generations, often encapsulating dietary habits that align with sustainable health practices. Consider the Mediterranean diet, renowned for its emphasis on olive oil, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. This diet not only promotes cardiovascular health but also reflects a lifestyle intertwined with social and environmental consciousness (Willett et al., 1995).
Similarly, the traditional Japanese diet, rich in seafood, rice, and fermented foods like miso, is associated with longevity and reduced risk of chronic diseases (Kagawa, 1978). These diets exemplify how cultural practices can positively influence health outcomes, offering insights into balanced nutrition that modern medicine increasingly recognizes (Katz & Meller, 2014).

Global Diets in Clinical Practice
The application of global diets in clinical settings is gaining traction, with evidence supporting their role in managing and preventing diseases. For instance, the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet, inspired by Western and African dietary habits, effectively reduces blood pressure and improves heart health (Appel et al., 1997).
Furthermore, the Nordic diet, which emphasizes root vegetables, fatty fish, and whole grains, has been shown to decrease inflammation and improve metabolic health, offering another model for dietary interventions in clinical practice (Adamsson et al., 2011).

Conclusion
Incorporating cultural wisdom and global dietary practices into healthcare not only enriches our understanding of nutrition but also fosters a holistic approach to health and wellness. By recognizing the value of traditional dietary patterns and integrating them into modern clinical practice, healthcare professionals can cultivate a more inclusive and effective strategy for disease prevention and health promotion.

Chapter 8: Technology and the Future of Preventive Nutrition
Title: Technology and the Future of Preventive Nutrition
Introduction
In the modern era, the intersection of technology and nutrition has led to transformative advancements in preventive healthcare. Preventive nutrition focuses on promoting health and reducing disease risk through dietary choices, and technology has become a pivotal tool in this endeavor. By integrating artificial intelligence (AI), genomic data, and personalized nutrition strategies, we have the potential to revolutionize how we approach health from a preventive standpoint. This manuscript explores the role of technology in shaping the future of preventive nutrition, emphasizing the holistic benefits and transformative potential of these innovations.
The Role of Technology in Preventive Nutrition
Technology, particularly AI, plays a crucial role in advancing preventive nutrition by enabling personalized dietary recommendations and improving health outcomes. AI systems can analyze vast datasets to identify patterns and correlations between diet and health, facilitating the development of tailored nutritional plans (1). For example, machine learning algorithms can process individual health data, including genetic, metabolic, and lifestyle factors, to suggest personalized dietary interventions aimed at disease prevention (2).
Personalized Nutrition and Genomics
The integration of genomic data into nutritional practices marks a significant leap forward in personalized nutrition. By understanding an individual's genetic predispositions, healthcare providers can recommend specific nutrients and dietary patterns that mitigate the risk of developing certain conditions. For instance, individuals with a genetic predisposition to type 2 diabetes might benefit from a diet low in refined carbohydrates and high in fiber (3). Genomic insights, combined with AI-driven analytics, allow for the creation of bespoke nutritional plans that promote long-term health.
AI and Data-Driven Dietary Recommendations
AI's ability to process and analyze large datasets is instrumental in developing data-driven dietary recommendations. By leveraging big data, AI can identify optimal nutrient combinations and dietary patterns that promote health and prevent disease (4). For example, AI systems can evaluate the effectiveness of various diets in lowering cholesterol levels across diverse populations, leading to more accurate and effective dietary guidelines.
Holistic Health and Technology-Driven Interventions
Holistic health approaches emphasize the interconnectedness of various health determinants, including diet, lifestyle, and environment. Technology enables a more comprehensive understanding of these factors, allowing for interventions that consider the whole individual. AI can integrate data from wearable devices, health apps, and electronic health records to monitor real-time health metrics and adjust nutritional recommendations accordingly (5). Such dynamic, responsive interventions support sustainable lifestyle changes and improved health outcomes.
Optimism for the Future
The future of preventive nutrition is bright, with technology paving the way for more effective and personalized health interventions. As AI continues to evolve, its ability to provide sophisticated, data-driven insights will enhance our understanding of nutrition and its role in disease prevention. This optimism is grounded in the potential for technology to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools they need to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
Conclusion
In conclusion, technology, particularly AI, is transforming preventive nutrition by enabling personalized, data-driven interventions that promote holistic health. As we continue to harness the power of technology, we can anticipate significant advancements in our ability to prevent disease and enhance well-being through tailored nutritional strategies. The future of preventive nutrition is one of promise and potential, driven by the integration of cutting-edge technology and evidence-based practices.
