The Future of Healthcare

Artificial intelligence has recently moved from being a futuristic promise into a reference point for innovation. The technology also started to transform healthcare with great vigor. It’s high time to talk about what AI brings to medicine and healthcare.

• What do machine learning, deep learning, or convolutional networks mean?
• What are the most affected medical fields and specialties?
• What are the greatest challenges for applying smart algorithms to healthcare settings?
• What could the future bring?
• What are the top use cases for artificial intelligence in healthcare?
• What are the benefits of the exchange of knowledge between humans and machines?
• What social and ethical implications do we need to address?

Read The Medical Futurist’s guide to understand what you can anticipate from AI in healthcare and how to control this technology.

• Understand: Get a clear overview of the key concepts.
• Anticipate: Learn how to identify the opportunities and use cases of AI in healthcare and medicine.
• Control: Recognize and act upon the risks and implications of artificial intelligence.

Every medical specialty will transform differently due to the technological revolution. On certain fields, such as nursing, psychiatry, obstetrics and gynecology, innovation will have much less impact than on dentistry, cardiology or pathology. In this e-book we specify in detail how the appearance of artificial intelligence, sensors, wearables, VR/AR or robots affect each medical specialty in order to be able to discern what skills physicians will need in the future.

We aim to show how physicians of the various professions can successfully prepare for the sweeping changes coming with the waves of technology. We want to go against the fears that artificial intelligence, robots or any other innovative solutions will take over doctors’ jobs. While digital technologies certainly have the capacity to take over administrative tasks, organizational processes or even simpler diagnostic steps, the expertise of medical professionals is irreplaceable. Especially if they recognize that their jobs can be much more efficient, creative or even fun if they embrace digital technologies. At the moment, as these innovations are still in the early days of their usage, that doesn’t always seem so.

However, we are certain that technologies will unburden doctors, nurses and other medical professionals in the long run, especially if they learn in time how to cooperate with technologies successfully. Here’s our guide on how to do that.

Around the world, populations are getting older, and their health needs are becoming more complex. In many ways, healthcare facilities are still stuck in the 20th century and are long overdue for a top-to-bottom overhaul with digital health leading the way.

Technological advances are changing healthcare delivery. In this book, A Guide To The Future Of Hospitals we explore how hospitals will innovate in the coming decades, and what this innovation will mean for both patients and healthcare professionals.

We think there will be hospitals even 30 years from now; however, their role will be different and they will cover a specific group of treatments and healthcare processes.

We hope this comprehensive review will arm policymakers, healthcare professionals, and people on the business side of care to better see what is coming and what the hospital of the future will be like.
