This trajectory will continue into 2025, as advancements in AI, remote medicine, and biotechnology continue to reshape healthcare planning and delivery. The most important and impactful trends in healthcare over the next year:
1.The Personalized Healthcare Revolution: Personalized healthcare means more than just precision medicine – it’s about tapping into the power of AI and data to address every aspect of a patient’s unique needs.
2.Technology In Mental Wellness: This will include virtual healthcare sessions delivered remotely in VR or AR environment by human therapists. We will also see the growing use of chatbots that can provide instantaneous 24/7 support.
3.Wearables 2.0 – BCIs And Implants: Implantable devices such as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) represent the next generation of wearable health-tech devices.
All of this potential for game-changing, AI-driven, precision-targeted diagnoses and drug discovery will be thwarted if there aren’t enough skilled people to make it happen. A recent survey into digital transformation challenges in healthcare found that a lack of specific skills and talent are the biggest obstacles to benefitting from opportunities created by new technology.
