The future of healthcare is shaping up in front of our very eyes with advances in digital healthcare technologies, such as artificial intelligence, VR/AR, 3D-printing, robotics or nanotechnology. We have to familiarize ourselves with the latest developments in order to be able to control technology and not the other way around.
The future of healthcare lies in working hand-in-hand with technology. Healthcare workers have to embrace emerging healthcare technologies in order to stay relevant in the coming years.
Be bold, curious and informed!
Fear of robots taking over healthcare jobs, AI taking control of the world and growing virtual reality addiction are common and may seem unrelated, but ultimately they all represent a fear of the unknown future. But no matter how scary the future might seem at the moment, we cannot stop technological development; and sooner or later we will find out that whole areas of our lives have been transformed through various technologies.
Thus, our task is to turn to technologies with an open mind and to prepare for the changing world with as much knowledge as possible.
