Being able to turn to a physician with every minor medical issue or question that could have been handled by a short digital interaction too. This way, overwhelming medical professionals leads to massive burn-outs. I think we might have the chance to build the right strategy while being forced to move partially to the virtual space due to the pandemic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>I truly believe in the power of the doctor-patient relationship (\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002Flifestyle-medicine-could-be-the-key-for-digital-health-adoption\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">as I have such a connection to my GP\u003C\u002Fa>), but I also enjoy the freedom of our online interactions.

It’s much more important that a patient feels they can discuss such issues with their primary care physician than whether their device transmits data through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Connectivity is simply an IT issue. The much more complicated task here is allowing the doctor-patient meeting to benefit from the data coming from these wearables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>What promising advancements do you see in point-of-care treatments?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>I see exciting portable diagnostic devices that help make patients the point-of-care. I’m especially excited about mobile ECGs that have more and more studies backing their use and portable ultrasound devices. Such devices work by being attached to a smartphone and doing an ultrasound examination on a smartphone does feel like science fiction. I also look forward to testing ultrasound devices with A.I. guidance where the examiner will not even need to be a specialist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>#2 Remote Care – The Best OF All Worlds\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F11\u002F054-telemedicine-1.png\" alt=\"\"\u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Which technology will reshape the capability to care for patients remotely and from home? \u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Telemedical services, sensors used at home by patients and portable diagnostic devices used by medical professionals are the basic technologies that can augment remote care. All these had already been available, but, especially telemedicine, got a boost during the pandemic and I expect them to keep on rising. With patients using reliable sensors for managing health\u002Ffitness and diseases; with physicians using ECG sensors and portable ultrasound devices, patients can really become the point-of-care. And telemedicine is the bridge that connects data measured by these devices and the medical expertise needed to make decisions based on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Are there any guidelines when virtual care is more appropriate and when face to face is the better option?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This is an excellent question that raises important issues here. There are minor health issues which could be handled easily only by having access to the knowledge and experience of a medical professional without the need for travelling and waiting. No matter how efficient virtual care services can be, there will always be medical issues from mental health to sensitive topics such as an HIV infection or cancer, where the face-to-face meeting is crucial for the sake of the doctor-patient relationship. Also, when physicians need to examine the patient in a way that cannot be performed through data (measuring an ECG or taking a photo of a skin lesion are possible at the point of care) or have to use big machines, then in-person meetings are the only viable option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Read \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002Fdigital-health-tech-here-to-stay-after-covid-19\" target=\"_blank\">more about it here\u003C\u002Fa>.\u003Ca href=\"\">\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Do you think countries will start changing laws to accommodate telehealth instead of physical visits?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The pandemic led to a shift in the approach to remote care as it has been becoming the new norm. To facilitate this, countries do need to create new laws and provide better incentives for their medical professionals. Also, it would make sense to educate the general public about what remote care means, how it works and how it differs from the doctor-patient relationship they are used to. There are already great examples for that – \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002Fnational-digital-health-strategies-around-the-world\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">we wrote about them here\u003C\u002Fa>. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>#3 The Tale Of Tech’s Davids And Goliaths\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F12\u002F0917_tech_giants_16x9_V2.png\" alt=\"\"\u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Who is going to bring about the most changes in healthcare: small start-ups with new technology or the Amazons\u002FGoogle of the world?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Big technology companies have been marching into healthcare for years and we can expect them to either launch their own healthcare services (e.g. Amazon) or to contribute to care with technologies patients and physicians like to use (Apple or Google). Their future role in care is undeniable, however, their experience in regulations and the way the medical community works is very limited. Thus, small companies could address issues specific to a patient population, medical issue or patient need that tech giants have no resources for.

There are under-developed regions where we cannot expect patients to become the point-of-care themselves and lead this change due to the lack of resources. In those regions, policy makers have an even bigger responsibility to make it happen.

Dr. Bergé said patients asked for the simplest things: to have more privacy, more information and more new games for kids in the waiting rooms – to kill time more easily. They asked for amiable architecture with a lot of light and friendly colors, and round tables instead of the square ones: to put an end to the “confrontation” between the “contending parties” and to have a more balanced patient-doctor relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>What will be the role of hospitals in future, let’s say 10 and 25 years from now?

The whole concept of digital health is to make patients the point-of-care. So in 10 years, the concept of patients bringing value to the table through data and their insights will be commonplace, or at least it will be widely accepted. In 25 years, I think only those procedures will \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002Fiot-in-hospitals\u002F\" target=\"_blank\">take place in a hospital\u003C\u002Fa> that either require invasive interventions or large machines (such as radiology).

First, we need policies and laws that allow A.I. companies to thrive and do their best.

Focusing on A.I. developments, I expect to see diagnostic applications that could detect the development of dementia early (e.g. based on a phone call) and find better caring environment for them through the concept of the Internet of Health Things, which is only possible if an A.I.-level algorithm can analyse the vast amounts of data those devices collect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>How will A.I. and deep learning influence the activity of radiologists (especially) and other medical specialties, and how will the digitalisation of healthcare impact the doctor-patient relationship?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>We analysed this in depth, and in order to help everyone get a clearer picture of how the latest innovations in healthcare impact individual medical specialties, we created an infographic. https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002Ftowards-creativity-in-healthcare-the-impact-of-digital-technologies-on-medical-specialties-in-an-infographic\u002F\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>At first, we tried to conceptualise what aspects and tasks of the medical job are usually affected by the latest innovations, such as robotics, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, or telemedicine. We have to point out that there is no objective scale to accurately measure these changes, and our conceptualisation is based on observation rather than quantitative weighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Still, we found that tasks requiring the collection, analysis, and even the interpretation of information, such as diagnostics in general or radiology\u002Fpathology in particular, will speed up due to the use of technologies, freeing up time for other, less data-based duties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>These assignments could mean more interaction-based activities – at the other extreme of our scale –, where the human factor plays a much more important role than machines ever could.

For example, in the future, artificial intelligence could free up time for doctors chained to administrative tasks, or various robots, such as the TUG robot, could complete simple assignments for nurses, saving time for patients.
