Artificial intelligence has an unimaginable potential. Within the next couple of years, it will revolutionize every area of our life, including medicine. I am fully convinced that it will redesign healthcare completely – and for the better. Let’s take a look at the promising solutions it offers.
There are various thought leaders who believe that we are experiencing the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, impacting all disciplines, economies and industries, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be hum...

Robotics in Healthcare — Get Ready!
In the near future we will inevitably work closely with medical robots. If we take the necessary steps now to gain better understanding of how they work the transition could be easier and simpler.
While there are concerns for machines replacing people in the workforce, the benefits are tempting. Imagine how a machine that doesn’t need sleep or food, doesn’t have prejudices that we humans so often have could change the way we treat people who are sick and vulnerable. With some preparation and forethought, we can make sure the human touch stays relevant in medicine while taking advantage of our metallic allies. For thi...

Elon Musk Will Need a Masterplan in Digital Health Too
Elon Musk has revealed his second Master Plan. In it, he paints a bold future for the transportation and solar industries. Strong visions like Musk’s help advance our technology and civilization – but he will also need a Master Plan for digital health.
Elon Musk shared the second part of his Master Plan at Tesla. His vision for the transportation industry:
creating stunning solar roofs to generate cheap electricity;
expanding the electric vehicle product line;
provide self-driving capability that is 10X safer than manual – potentially decreasing car accidents 90%;
and enabling cars to make money for their owners w...

Your Wearable Indoor Trainer: Gymwatch Review
Engaging in sports is essential for keeping your mental, emotional and physical health. If you do not have the time and money for going to a gym and having your own personal trainer, let me introduce you to an awesome wearable being able to help you out – Gymwatch.
When I started giving a score to my mental, emotional and physical health every day, I made an important discovery about my health after only a week. I perform mentally better if I exercise every day. But I do not have the time to go out for a run or to play football all the time. Sometimes I arrive home late at night and I would do something although 1) I don...

What Is Using IBM Watson In Everyday Medicine Like?
Artificial intelligence will determine the future of medicine – no question about it – and there are already some medical professionals who use the technology in their practice. I asked practitioners what using IBM Watson in medicine is like.
Do you remember the battle of man vs. machine in the world of chess? The project of creating a computer to beat the greatest human chess player Garry Kasparov? At first, Deep Thought was handily defeated. But then IBM went back to work and developed Deep Blue, which was able to challenge Kasparov through its ability of continuous learning.
By now, the question is not whether ar...

Augmented Reality In Healthcare Will Be Revolutionary
Augmented reality is one of the most promising digital technologies at present – look at the success of Pokémon Go – and it has the potential to change healthcare and everyday medicine completely for physicians and patients alike.
By now, it is official: Pokémon Go conquered the world. TechCrunch reported that on the day when the game was launched, it immediately surpassed the daily time usage of Facebook, SnapChat or Twitter by the average iOS user on mobile phones. Tom Curry, a man living in New Zealand quit his job to become a full-time Pokémon hunter. In Central Park, herds of Pokémon Go players almost caused a...
