In the never-ending pursuit of absolute human health, innovation is showing itself to be unimaginably valuable.

In expert system and virtual reality, the two staple examples of sophisticated technology are within our grasp, with technology in healthcare today currently utilising them across the patient journey, from training through medical diagnosis all the way to surgical treatment. Artificial intelligence, frequently represented in popular culture through a lens of anxiety-wrought fatalistic pessimism, is identifying heart attacks over emergency call, discovering patterns in inconceivably enormous sets of client information, and finding new wonder drugs; not quite the world-ending circumstance that numerous science-fiction representations would anticipate. Virtual reality is at a likewise interesting location in its technological advancement, although it has never ever had the reputational issues that its machine-learning brethren does. VR is proving to be particularly efficient as tool for cosmetic surgeons, with those who received virtual or augmented reality training along with their 'real-world' tutoring carrying out better than their coworkers who just received the standard course. In the operating room too, VR has been utilized to conduct surgery on someone on the other side of the continent, and it's expected that within a few years, Physicians will have the ability to insert a thumb-sized robotic into the patient's body that can be controlled through VR headsets.

Here, as we come close to liquidating the first quarter of the twenty-first century, we discover ourselves in a position whereby we base on the cusp of a world identical from a few of the science-fiction dreams that have gripped the creativity of writers and filmmakers for decades. Our innovation, from artificial intelligence to virtual reality, is close to realising goals that have actually captivated minds for generations, and no where is that more apparent than when we turn to take a look at the health tech sector. Rather than opulently fancy gizmos that make life a little more comfortable in the customer sector, the very same innovation is conserving lives in health care systems around the world. With an increase of investment from the likes of Aztiq and Regal Healthcare Capital Partners, the very near future holds unimaginably amazing healthcare technology advances straight out off of the silver screen.

The very near future of healthcare technology is undeniably intense, and with the pandemic producing a 50% increase in financial investment in the sector from business like Altaris Capital Partners, we're within reach of obtaining powerful technologies straight from sci-fi scripts. The medical tricorder for example, the holy grail of healthcare tech, was 'created' in a seminal sci-fi series in the 1960s. Able to scan all a patient's vital indications entirely uninvasively, it's incredibly close to becoming science-fact with multiple versions in their last phase of screening. Healthcare reveals our technology at its most practical, and shows that utopian visions of the 23rd century maybe aren't that far fetched at all.
