So, we still have to wait for a while until artificial intelligence becomes our personal assistant, but its potential is there and the ramifications are colossal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Google Duplex sounds amazingly natural. The use of “hmm”s and “uh”s, the incorporation of appropriate latency into the speech, the understanding and right response to questions. The Medical Futurist is curious whether it would pass the Turing-test; \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fai.googleblog.com\u002F2018\u002F05\u002Fduplex-ai-system-for-natural-conversation.html\">based on the conversations\u003C\u002Fa> that we had the chance to listen to, it has all the chance for that.

Moreover, you will be able to personalize the voice assistant.

Placing regular doctor’s appointments for patients or in the name of a relative could help spare time and better organize patient pathways. Beyond that, it could take care of prescription drugs and calls to pharmacies to place orders. Moreover, it could ease emergency situations. Just as \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fappleinsider.com\u002Farticles\u002F17\u002F03\u002F23\u002F4-year-old-saves-mothers-life-by-asking-apples-siri-to-call-emergency-services\">a four-year-old boy in the UK asked Siri for help after his mother lost consciousness\u003C\u002Fa>.

The medical services saved the woman’s life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Even more, health chatbots could be connected to digital personal assistants. Chatbots \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002Fchatbots-health-assistants\u002F\">might become the first line of primary care\u003C\u002Fa> by responding to simple medical questions, helping patients self-medicate or organizing their care.

Within the network where medication gets from pharmaceutical companies through distributors, hospitals, and pharmacies to the patient, the most important challenge is to ensure the safety and security of the products themselves. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The issue of counterfeit medicines, as the dark side of networked markets and globalisation, has \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.pharmaceutical-technology.com\u002Ffeatures\u002Fblockchain-pharma-opportunities-supply-chain\u002F\">become increasingly pressing\u003C\u002Fa>; both in terms of the economic cost of this global black market and the risk to human life that comes from taking counterfeit drugs. In many developing countries in Asia, Africa, and South America, counterfeit drugs comprise between 10 – 30 percent of the total medicines on sale. Blockchain technology can be the answer to this issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The technology offers security through transparency. It might work as follows: barcode-tagged drugs could be scanned and entered into secure digital blocks whenever they change hands. This ongoing real-time record could be viewed anytime by authorised parties and even patients at the far end of the supply chain. This would make it much more difficult for criminal networks to sell their counterfeit drugs on the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>However, the advantages of blockchain for pharma do not stop there. Drug developers running clinical trials might be able to share clinical data and medical samples more securely and simply; while in healthcare, vaccine registries could be more easily set up and relied upon. And while blockchain underpins the digital currencies demanded in ransomware attacks, the technology could also play a role in securing sensitive industry data from malicious attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Chr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\u002F>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Overall, pharma should embrace digital health technologies or small companies coming from a garage that might beat them at speed, patient centricity, and cost (the triad of success in the digital age).\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\">\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fthemedicalfuturist.us8.list-manage.com\u002Fsubscribe?u=5b42ebb547c75ff669a6572d3&id=efd6a3cd08\">\u003Cb>Subscribe To The Medical Futurist℠ Newsletter\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\u003Cli>News shaping the future of healthcare\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Advice on taking charge of your health\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Reviews of the latest health technology\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n",{"rendered":195,"protected":20},"\u003Cp>Exoskeletons to aid pharma factory workers. 3D printing to allow pharmacies to produce drugs on the spot.
