Editorial

At a time when health is being redefined well beyond the medical field, this 13th issue of Health Practices continues to explore the paths of a concrete transformation: that of a more preventive, supportive, and life-sensitive system.

The collected articles explore this turning point through five main axes: the increasing power of prevention, which is more effective and less costly than mere curative measures; mental health, which calls for moving away from stigma and giving full recognition to peers; the fight against inequalities and discrimination, particularly regarding female or LGBTQI+ vulnerabilities; the promises as well as the possible pitfalls of artificial intelligence in health; and finally the 'One Health' approach, which connects our human, animal, and ecological destinies.

The articles of the blog 'Health Practices' follow the same editorial format for operational decoding for field actors. Each article offers a structured text that highlights main results, practical issues, points of vigilance, and action pathways, often complemented by associated educational resources (MCQs, FAQs, Easy-to-Read) to facilitate understanding without reading the entirety of the reports. For a week now, a YouTube channel -https://www.youtube.com/@DanielOberl%C3%A9-s2h, has been presenting the articles in 1'30". Remember to subscribe.
