ABSTRACT

Technological advancements have significantly changed healthcare, from anaesthetics and antibiotics to magnetic resonance imaging scanners and radiotherapy. While technologies (new pharmaceuticals and treatments, new equipment, new social media support for healthcare, etc.) will drive innovation, human aspects will still be one of the stable restrictions of advances in the healthcare industry. No prediction can please everyone, but to help us think more clearly about how to go where we want to go, this essay investigates snippets of the future. Regarding public health, more than any other driver, technology is what drives the healthcare industry, and it will continue to grow dramatically in the coming years. While we might speculate about and discuss specifics of upcoming healthcare trends, we must connect with them and engage effectively to guarantee the best results for society as a whole.
