What could change in the next 5 years? 2022 is the foundation year for an unprecedented amount of collaborative research and innovation. As we move ahead, an integrated healthcare industry will create new ways to diagnose patients; prevention will actually become the cure; and technology will provide unprecedented levels of patient information, making it easier than ever before to find therapies to treat individual-specific conditions, or even specific individuals.
In the next decade, global healthcare will blur the lines between different segments, and even sectors. The traditional distinction between different parts of the healthcare industry clinical practice, diagnostics, devices and pharmaceuticals has already begun to disappear. So will the barriers between innovators, service providers and technologists.
Digital health is already changing the face of diagnosis and drug discovery. In the future, new healthcare platforms will provide remote care to patients, smart sensors will monitor body chemistry and vital signs, and identify potential disease risk. Manufacturing technology will be increasingly refined and complex but not complicated.
That artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) will accelerate along the spectrum of healthcare is a given. Robotics and virtual reality have already begun and will continue to aid doctors in the operation theatre to conduct surgery with much higher precision. Sensors monitoring vital signs, triggering alerts and even treatment are already making their mark.
