Health care will be different in the future. It remains to be seen whether GP’s and general hospitals will still be there. Current work practices may become obsolete in the near future. If we look at current developments and extrapolate them to the future, artificial intelligence and the integration of big data will be dominant forces in health care. Big data will be interlinked to form super data. This will become necessary, because new development and discoveries are made every day and nobody is able to keep track of all of them. This makes the creation of super data a good thing.<\/p>\n
Medical specialists can keep abreast of the latest knowledge and technologies because of super data, and patients benefit. Smart devices monitoring our vital bodily functions and giving advice will become part of our daily lives.<\/p>\n
One of the technologies that is now being explored is the so-called skinput technology. Skinput makes use of bio-acoustic sensing. If you link this to a pico projector, a user interface can be projected onto your skin. This technology would for instance allow you to make the keyboard of your mobile phone visible in the palm of your hand, thus annexing it as an input surface. It would also allow devices to become ever smaller.<\/p>\n
