Would you implant an RFID microchip under your skin?
I wanted to, so I explored the whole issue from the ethical to the medical side, even asked my wife whether she would be fine living with a cyborg. You can also watch my video on the topic here.?
Eye care is a hot topic these days in the artificial intelligence community. Here is another proof:
A new study in The Lancet found that a deep-learning algorithm was able to detect vision-threatening retinopathy with 94.7% accuracy.
From quantum computing to 3D printing drugs, longevity research and virtual reality in pain management - the future of healthcare is shaping up in front of our eyes. And these are just a few examples of the most exciting 50 trends we analysed in this ebook.
We created it to act as a handbook of digital health: by describing each trend and explaining why it received a particular place on the hype cycle, we aim to give you more clarity about where healthcare is heading to.
