This panel took a journey through a personalised healthcare plan of the future; how will it be different? They explored the emerging features including centralized digital centres to enable decision making (think: air traffic control for hospitals), continuous clinical monitoring, targeted treatments (such as 3D printing for surgeries), and the use of smaller, portable devices which will help characterise acute-care hospitals. Digital and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and robotic process automation (RPA) can allow care givers to spend more time providing care and less time documenting it. The panel also considered the impact of digital supplychains, automation, robotics, and next-generation interoperability that could drive operations management and back-office efficiencies.
