The Future Of Vision And Eye Care
3D printed digital contact lenses, bionic eye implants, augmented reality: the future of vision and eye care is full of science fiction-sounding innovations. Here is where digital health will take ophthalmology in the future!
More than 80 percent of perception comes through vision
Researchers estimate that 80-85 percent of our perception, learning, cognition, and activities are mediated through vision. Compared to that, our hearing only processes 11 percent of information, while smell 3.5 percent, touch 1.5 percent and taste 1 percent. Don’t you think that’s possible? Renowned scholars, L.D. Ros...

The Top 10 Super-Creepy Medical Technologies
We are all for new technologies here, spending our days researching where the science of medicine goes. With that said, every now and then we see something so creepy that it freaks out even the seasoned team of The Medical Futurist.
So here we collected ten examples of either super creepy medical technologies or ingeniously evil uses of perfectly innocent technologies.
The blood drawing robots
First, this doesn’t really sound creepy. Drawing blood might not be our favourite thing, but nothing of a terror for most of us either. Vein scanners are around for a while, actually being a useful little tool ...

If my mother gave birth to me today, she would probably would die
If my mother gave birth to me today instead of over 60 years ago, she would probably be dead based on her risk factors.

Looking Back At Today ’s Healthcare In 2060
I receive many questions after my talks and on my online channels about the not yet visible future. People want to know what healthcare will be like in the next decades. But throwing around predictions will not help us design a better healthcare. Although showing a utopian future of healthcare might do so.
On a chilly October afternoon in 2060,
after having watched the leaves falling off the trees in our garden for too long to get bored, my beautiful and overtly curious grandchild, Nina, came to me and started asking me questions.
She pointed at one of the many CubeSensors in the living room – small,...

10 Gender Narratives Women Can Break to Bloom
Have you ever felt like you were playing by the wrong “rules”, but didn’t know the right ones?
Are you experiencing the awkward “ick” vibe at work, in a relationship, or in life? Do you sometimes feel like you just don’t fit?
Throughout our lifespan there are times when we simply outgrow our circumstances. When we find ourselves trying to fit into a job, relationship or lifestyle that no longer serves our needs, desires or values, it’s an inauthentic move. It can feel suffocating, anxiety-provoking, uncomfortable, irritating or just plain wrong. This is the feeling that signals to us that it’s t...

From Organ Designers To Telesurgery VR Planners: Healthcare Jobs in 2040
In this study, the researchers employed the VR prototype for surgical planning using a standard VR setup in two real cases of patients with liver tumours who were scheduled for surgery at a University Hospital for Visceral Surgery. Surgeons used the VR prototype before the surgery to plan the procedure in addition to their regular planning process. They used semi-structured interviews before and after the surgery to explore the benefits and pitfalls of VR surgical planning.
Within 20-30 years, AR/VR operation planners will help surgeons in the preparation for very complex surgical interventions. While the medical pr...

When the school day starts later, teens get better sleep and feel more motivated
This study was conducted at the most academic type of German secondary school, equivalent to a grammar school, which limits the generalisability of the findings. It’s possible, perhaps even likely, that students from other backgrounds or countries will experience different costs and benefits when taking advantage of late starts.
As appealing as later school starts may sound, their practicality and effects on students within the UK system requires further investigation. Apologies to younger readers!
– Sleep improvements on days with later school starts persist after 1 year in a flexible start system
