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.

One of the things I have shared on this blog is that I maintain a watchlist of 100 stocks. I think it’s part of an effective discipline to focus one’s research efforts. Unless one is devoting their full-time to researching stocks, 100 is likely too large a number, but it works for me. These are the stocks I follow most closely, including listening to quarterly earnings calls (or reading transcripts), tracking daily news and evaluating technicals and valuation on a regular basis.
