Read the Opening

At some point during the last couple of decades we all just quietly accepted that we’re living in a sci-fi novel. Tablets, smartwatches, voice-enabled assistants, 3D-printing, cloud computing, artificial intelligence – these are all technologies that weren’t supposed to arrive until the starship Enterprise began boldly going where no one had gone before. And yet, not only do these technologies exist at a consumer-level, but they’re also so commonplace we no longer even marvel at them.

Technology in healthcare is no different. Exoskeletons, neurostimulation, 3D-printed drugs, genome editing, medical wearables, robotic surgery – again all innovations that were envisioned when I was younger, but that seem to have arrived at far greater speed than most would have predicted.

When I first started working in healthcare, we would input records into massive mainframe computers with green and black monitors and print out the results onto green and white, continuous form paper. Now we use wireless touchscreen devices, connected to cloud storage that can hold petabytes of information with ease.
