The convergence of neurocapitalism and biodesign presents a promising future for the healthcare and technology industries. Neurocapitalism, a model characterized by monetizing neurological processes and behaviors, has profoundly impacted economies, technologies, and societal structures. Simultaneously, biodesign, which combines biology and design principles to develop innovative solutions, has emerged as a critical approach to healthcare innovation. Armed with the knowledge that neurocapitalism and biodesign rely heavily on data management, this commentary explores how insights from cyber security can protect the data involved. For this research, we delve into the foundational principles of neurocapitalism by elaborating on its core tenets and implications for various aspects of society, we establish a comprehensive understanding of biodesign by highlighting its significance in driving transformative advancements in healthcare, while simultaneously proposing strategies for enhancing the security of the sensitive information connected to the data used in both industries. Meanwhile, we identify intersections between neurocapitalism and biodesign through an interdisciplinary lens, revealing shared principles and potential synergies while proposing strategies for improving data safety. As we address the challenges and ethical considerations associated with combining neurocapitalism and biodesign, we also identify the security risks and the ethical implications that arise because of the lack of security. Looking ahead, we envision a future where the secure data used by neurocapitalism continues to shape the evolution of biodesign unethically. We also envision a future where by embracing a multidisciplinary approach and fostering collaboration across professions, the secure data can be used to create designs that work around neurocaptialism, unlocking new opportunities for innovation and addressing pressing healthcare challenges. By doing this, we are creating the possibility for more meaningful advances in cyber security, biodesign, and ultimately for individuals worldwide. As we conclude, we reflect on how the synergy between neurocapitalism and biodesign offers a fertile ground for exploration and innovation in healthcare and its data security. Through strategic integration and ethical stewardship, we can harness the critique of neurocapitalism to catalyze transformative change and usher in a more beneficial era of healthcare innovation.
