The future of medicine - trends, technologies and skills

How will the medicine of the future look? Healthcare and medicine
are on the verge of transformative change, driven by new
technologies such as artificial intelligence, telemedicine, and
wearable devices. Alongside the technologization and virtualization
of medicine, there is a shift from reactive "fix the broken"
approaches to preventative strategies and from one-size-fits-all
treatments to personalized medicine. In this future, human
healthcare professionals and machines will work hand-in-hand to
deliver the best possible care, with empowered patients acting as
equal decision-makers who understand and access their own
healthcare data. However, a darker scenario could see medicine
becoming fully industrialized and dehumanized. In episode 26 of
We’re Doomed, We’re Saved, Andreas Horchler and Louise von Stechow
outline the key trends shaping the future of medicine and discuss
the opportunities and risks that accompany these developments.
