There are already famous examples of real-life cyborgs; and the ‘cyborg-craze’ might eventually start with a new generation of hipsters who implant devices and technologies in their bodies just to look cooler. Advances in future medical technology will not just repair physical disadvantages such as impaired eyesight but will create superhuman powers from having the eyesight of an eagle to having the hearing of a bat. In the future, I expect to see more cases when patients ask for the implantation of a certain device without having medical problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-15869 size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"870\" height=\"544\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2015\u002F05\u002Fa-color-blind-artist-neil-harbisson-wears-an-antenna-that-allows-him-to-“hear”-color-through-vibrations-in-his-skull.jpg\" alt=\"Neil Harbisson - Top Cyborgs\" class=\"wp-image-15869\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2015\u002F05\u002Fa-color-blind-artist-neil-harbisson-wears-an-antenna-that-allows-him-to-“hear”-color-through-vibrations-in-his-skull.jpg 870w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2015\u002F05\u002Fa-color-blind-artist-neil-harbisson-wears-an-antenna-that-allows-him-to-“hear”-color-through-vibrations-in-his-skull-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2015\u002F05\u002Fa-color-blind-artist-neil-harbisson-wears-an-antenna-that-allows-him-to-“hear”-color-through-vibrations-in-his-skull-512x320.jpg 512w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2015\u002F05\u002Fa-color-blind-artist-neil-harbisson-wears-an-antenna-that-allows-him-to-“hear”-color-through-vibrations-in-his-skull-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption>Color-blind artist, Neil Harbisson, wears an antenna that allows him to “hear” color through vibrations in his skull.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Technology should not exclude but reinforce the human touch in healthcare\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"has-text-align-left\">Beyond introducing the latest trends and future directions in medicine and healthcare, my mission with the updated book is to prove that the relation between the human touch in medicine and using disruptive innovations is mutual.
