The Future of Medicine - Biologics and Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

The future of medicine is in biologics and artificial intelligence AI. With the advent of advancing and disruptive technologies, many traditional therapies are being replaced by new therapies such as: stem cell therapy,joint preservation,limb saving technologies and medical robotics. In countries where first world medicine is available, there will emerge new challenges in retraining for practitioners and confusion for patients as to what are the best treatment options. From the medical practitioners’ perspective, the challenge will be to stay up to date with the changing times and innovations. Some aspects of their practice may quickly become obsolete.As patients become more aware of symptoms of their conditions, self-diagnosis will be on the rise, and patients may often run the risk of misdiagnosing themselves, or experiencing conditions such as cyber phobia from information overload. Innovations such as Artificial Intelligence will emerge, to summarize the vast amount of information that is being published each day relevant to medical fields. Artificial Intelligence that will interact with the doctor, promoting plausible diagnoses and treatment options is already present. Embracing change will become the norm.
