Hospitals will continue to be physical spaces in the future of healthcare, but their roles will profoundly change. In our latest e-book - A Guide To The Future Of Hospitals - we analysed the main trends that will drive this transformation.???
The cultural shift in healthcare won't leave the patient-healthcare relationship unchanged. In our latest paper published with patient scholar Dave deBronkart we explained why patient design needs to replace the illusion of patient-centricity.?
Physical institutions will still be part of the future of healthcare. However, their roles will be significantly different from what they currently are. This article briefly covers the most important trends analysed in our new e-book.?
Hospitals will become specialised centers for invasive procedures, acute care and disease prevention, while a significant portion of care will be offloaded outside of the confines of hospitals and healthcare professionals will need to adopt new roles for this purpose.
Very important updates from the FDA about regulating digital health technologies.
FDA addresses three important issues, 1. the state of the Pre-Cert Pilot, 2. defining which clinical decision support software will not be regulated as medical devices, and 3. they also dropped a number of guidances around radiology and medical device data systems.

For centuries, scientists have been trying to envision the future of hospitals. Following the recent shift towards digital health technologies, in part precipitated by COVID-19, it is natural for one to wonder how these developments will impact hospitals.
What can we expect from them in the future? Will there be hospitals at all in a decade’s time? We hope this comprehensive review will arm policymakers, healthcare professionals, and people on the business side of care to better see what is coming and what the hospital of the future will be like.
What exactly is the distinction between patient design and patient centricity? Why is the former a concept we must embrace in the future of medicine, and why is the latter obsolete?
Find out all you need to know about the importance of patient design in the future of healthcare in our latest article.

Scientists can now create the ureteric bud, which develops into the adult kidney collecting system. With the creation of this second kidney building block, we are one step closer to being able to 3D bioprint transplantable kidney tissues.??
We are not there yet, but such progress is required to get there. "This work provides a major step forward in the quest to replace renal function in patients with kidney failure or perhaps, in the future, generate a kidney in a dish.”
Fitbit Health Solutions and Google Cloud have announced the launch of a new service to assist healthcare and life science organizations in utilizing wearable data.
"Device Connect for Fitbit allows patients to make their Fitbit data available to providers, giving these patients control over who they share their information with and for what purpose. The tool also includes a "data connector," making Fitbit information interoperable with clinical data."
"Scientists have been able to direct a swarm of microscopic swimming robots to clear out pneumonia microbes in the lungs of mice, raising hopes that a similar treatment could be developed to treat deadly bacterial pneumonia in humans."
It is still a long way from practical application in humans, but this is how many significant medical breakthroughs began: in animal models.
