TIME The Future of Medicine

Magazine

"Join us as we look at the fascinating world of medicine and how it will evolve over the coming years. Digital tattoos, 3D printed drugs, RFID implants for recreational purposes: mindblowing innovations are coming to medicine and healthcare almost every single day. A few short years ago, it would have been hard to imagine that exoskeletons could enable paralyzed people to walk again; that billions of people would rely on social media for information; and that the supercomputer Watson would be a key player in medical decision-making. Perhaps more than in any other field, technology has transformed medicine and healthcare in ways that a mere decade ago would have sounded like pure science fiction. Patients, medical professionals, and a...ny healthcare stakeholder will find an eye-opening, reassuring roadmap to tomorrow’s potential in our articles and analyses about the future of medicine. By preparing for the inevitable waves of change, you can make informed decisions about how technology will shape your own well-being." more
