  The 9 Biggest Technology Trends That Will Transform Medicine And Healthcare In 2020

Healthcare is an industry that is currently being transformed using the latest technology, so it can meet the challenges it is facing in the 21st century. Technology can help healthcare organizations meet growing demand and efficiently operate to deliver better patient care.

  What next? 22 emerging technologies to watch in 2022

The astonishingly rapid development and rollout of coronavirus vaccines has been a reminder of the power of science and technology to change the world. Although vaccines based on new mrna technology seemed to have been created almost instantly, they actually drew upon decades of research going back to the 1970s. As the saying goes in the technology industry, it takes years to create an overnight success. So what else might be about to burst into prominence?

  You Don’t Want Facebook Involved With Your Health Care

Could your Netflix viewing habits predict that you will develop inflammatory bowel disease? Might your use of religious language in Facebook posts signal that you have diabetes? Could Amazon’s Alexa start telling you when you are getting sick and offer to sell you medicines?

 How Artificial Intelligence Could Transform Medicine

In “Deep Medicine,” Dr. Eric Topol looks at the ways that A.I. could improve health care, and where it might stumble.

 How Is Technology Changing the Healthcare Landscape?

Like every other aspect of our lives, technology is rapidly changing and entirely reshaping healthcare systems all over the world. These days, with the advent of sophisticated new technologies, a doctor or surgeon doesn’t even have to be in the same room or operating theatre to consult or perform a procedure.

 It’s Time to Fire Your Doctor

Medical tech allows us to monitor health, get advice and seek care remotely and cheaply.

 Reading Is Fundamental⎯But Less So with E-Books, a New Study Suggests

All technology can be considered a form of progress, but not all such progress is for the better. And when it comes to reading to kids, e-books may be a step backward from print.

 The Instant, Custom, Connected Future of Medical Devices

About 79 percent of consumers surveyed in the United States said technology is important to managing their health, according to a 2019 report by Accenture.

Silicon Valley wants to disrupt your health care.

How new technologies are shaking up health care

New tests and drugs have impacted health care for many decades. But we’re now seeing the emergence of completely different kinds of technologies that will radically alter how health care is both accessed and delivered.

Technology: Killer or Savior?

Technology is a two edged sword. It is up to humans to decide what they will do with it. We can use it for the betterment of mankind, or we can use it to wipe out millions. It is up to us. It is our decision, and ours alone.

The Most Exciting Medical Technologies of 2017

The role of a futurist is certainly not making bold predictions about the future. No such big bet has taken humanity forward. Instead, our job is constantly analysing the trends shaping the future and trying to build bridges between them and what we have today. Still, people expect me to come up with predictions about medical technologies every year, and thus here they are.

A Future Where Bionics Track Your Health

Implants as thin as tattoos and devices that dissolve in the body could help personalize treatments.

A Scientist Predicts the Future

When making predictions, I have two criteria: the laws of physics must be obeyed and prototypes must exist that demonstrate “proof of principle.” I’ve interviewed more than 300 of the world’s top scientists, and many allowed me into laboratories where they are inventing the future. Their accomplishments and dreams are eye-opening.

Connected Medical Devices, Apps: Are They Leading the IoT Revolution or Vise Versa

The concept of the Internet of Things, or IoT, is spreading its wings wider and stronger in the current IT scenario, and is gradually taking part in every facet of our lives. Look at the way the healthcare industry wants to be connected with each and every thing associated with it.

Facial Recognition Technology Is Secretly Tracking You, Everywhere

Facial recognition technology is becoming more and more widely used by social media platforms, advertisers and tech companies. But many of us don’t know that our biological data is being collected, much less what it’s being used for — and there aren’t a lot of guidelines to make sure these companies respect our privacy.

Google Bets on Health: 'The Most You Can Lose Is All Your Money'

Bill Maris, founder of Google Ventures, has a purse full of Alphabet Inc.’s cash and a mandate to spend it on big ideas. Having made a name in tech investments, he now wants his firm to be known as a big player in health care and biotech.

Healthcare Technology: The Next Frontier

“Wearables” technology such as heart rate monitors, motion trackers, and fitness accessories, have also made strides in the healthcare industry, providing physicians access to an increased granularity of patient-data to use in determining appropriate treatment plans.

Six New Medical Technologies Worth Watching

From growing blood vessels in labs to applying advanced nanotechnology to cancer testing, here are some emerging technologies that could have a big impact on medicine in coming years.

Top 10 emerging technologies

Emerging technologies are critical to building a sustainable and resilient future. But without new understanding, tools and capabilities, their safe and successful development is far from guaranteed.

Top 5 Advances in Medical Technology

As technology continues to drive the pace of progress in biomedical research and healthcare, the traditional line between engineering and medical science grows ever thinner. And as medical machines and the computers that power them become smaller, faster, and smarter, the medical device industry is making medical practice easier for doctors, more effective for patients, and cheaper for the entire healthcare system.
