Abstract

Modern medicine is shifting towards integrative, whole-person research to understand multi-scale complexities of health and disease. However, disciplinary silos, a lack of shared frameworks, and fragmented data hinder progress. The EMPOWER 2024 workshop concluded that the future of whole-person research requires a cultural and methodological shift. This involves embracing interdisciplinarity, sharing ethical data and analysis tools, and educational innovation to translate fragmented data into actionable, holistic health solutions.
