How do you feel that the technology is going to change your world in the next 10 years

How do you feel that the technology is going to change your world in the next 10 years? I feel happy and excited. Human body is the best creation on the earth and there would be no invention that can function the same way.  You cannot replicate the functioning of liver, lungs and heart in any way and human body remains the best creation in the universe. Due to the changes in the exercises and the food habits, we started to think different in the last 100 years and acquired several diseases. Diagnosis becomes the tough part to the doctors which takes a lot of time to identify the medical condition of the patient. Microsoft launched the smart watch with fitness tracker which is of great usage among the crowd.

Technology is helping people to save lives from taking proper care at the right time. It’s like the fuel indicator or the speedometer in the car which gives you the indication. Companies like IBM, Microsoft are trying to implement their new technological ideas to support the healthcare sector from curing people from the dreadful diseases. Top healthcare companies have enormous data which are processed  using big data analytics and identify the possible cure.The costs for curing an ailment seem impossible and highly priced. No one takes responsibility to bring the costs down. As everyone watches the laptop screen or mobile screen, there is a high risk of eye diseases and depression. There is no physical activity for the software developers who are glued to the screen all the time. Can you help these people by using technology? One simple example is to create the AR and help people from learning and able to play or work improving their physical activity. People need the reward to work, they need to get motivated. Augmented reality (AR) can give that motivation to make people feel excited and hit the gym.

Yes, there are scientists working around the clock and one example would be the CRISPR which is an editing tool for DNA that scientists invented. It can alter the DNA which causes the diseases to something that cures itself. The process has also fastened in the few years, helping people to get their blood report quicker than the usual method. Altering the DNA to avoid disease causing substance can be a boon for the next generation.

What am I sick with?

You know if you can treat with the DNA, diseases can be cured and you know that there can be only fingerprint exists having no replica. So each patient has to be treated in unique way knowing the medical history. The costs for these test would be 200$ and very less when compared in the last two or three decades. You can get it from ancestry and companies like 23andme. Patients need to be taken proper care and the medication has to be tailor made. Web diagnosis contains all the data in one place.

Demographics can help to analyze the situation better. As there is advancement in the medical field there will be an equal improvement in the field of technology .In the era of startups and funding is the common word used by them, there will be a huge competition among the technology sector in picking the healthcare issues for the next 5-10 years. Not many startups survive because the idea is short term and doesn’t serve the problem of million people. Theranos for example has created an amazing gateway for other startup companies to replicate the idea of providing technology aids to healthcare. There are few things that are to be done from both the sides

1.       Bring down the cost of medical expenses

2.       Improve the standards of medical checkup

3.       Find the easy way to diagnose

4.       Online consultation

5.       Mining medical records

Uber for example can be implemented as “Uber Doctor” where you can either fix appointments with doctor nearby or arrange a medical checkup at your own place. There are plenty of apps already in the app store. Everyone have the fingerprint scanner which can help you with reading the BP level of a patient Or something with smartphone cameras to check your eyesight or with the loudspeaker for diagnosing the hearing ability. There are many startups in the US, making the use of AI and IOT to treat you better with tailor made drug prescriptions. No need to worry about huge files explaining about your medical condition as the cloud service and mobile apps would take care. Not to mention about the mobile apps which monitor your health 24/7 and send status of your heart pulse every minute.

Technology can help in the faster diagnosis which makes the work of the doctor easy. Sometimes there will be human errors in diagnosis whereas artificial intelligence can help you in making your work easy. Say for example, IBM Watson introduced the watsonpaths which is based on AI and scans thousands if not millions of data based on the symptom that you mention. This can be helpful for the doctor to know about the new diseases and learn from around the globe with the statistics/live updates. Even a doctor with high qualifications cannot remember all those stuffs. There are also algorithms used to project the future medical ailments using the past data like careskore but we need to wait and watch.

Conclusion

People are going to find a marketplace which would sell medical services for few bucks. That can help people in a great way but do follow your exercises and medical checkups on time. Technology would make you excited and keep you fit. Mobile apps come with health related apps which can serve the purpose. Google has the project deep mind health which would help the hospitals to mine the medical records much faster. A doctor in other part of the world needs your medical report, you are miles away. Then medical records mining are the only possibility. Data harvesting and machine learning are the future, the cost for treatment is going to get cheaper in the next 10 years and it’s time to take care of your health by walking 40 minutes daily.
