Achieving universal, meaningful Internet connectivity by 2030 could require an investment of USD 2.6 trillion to USD 2.8 trillion at current prices, according to the Connecting Humanity Action Blueprint.
Researchers observed positive interactions, in which one disease favours the onset of another, such as between asthma and Parkinson's disease; and negative interactions, in which some groups of patients with one disease may be protected from developing others, such as between cancer and Huntington's disease.
BSC has developed a publicly accessible interactive platform that visualises the network of connections between diseases and proposes previously undescribed interactions, such as those between Down syndrome and lupus, thus opening the door to new therapeutic strategies.
