High technologies are designed to make our life easier, better and safer. Developments in the field of medicine also do not stand aside. For example, the Artefact Group recently showed a rather interesting vision of medical technology for the near future: a self-managed, AI-powered mobile clinic. It combines not only innovative sensors and sensors for diagnosing health conditions, but also the advanced technology that is now at the heart of self-driving cars.
The mobile clinic will be able to receive data about the health of the visitor from various sources. It can be various smart wearable electronics like bracelets, trackers, smart scales, first aid kits, and even smart toilets. All necessary additional procedures can be carried out directly in the "mobile office": thermography, breathing and heart rate studies, lung examinations and blood pressure measurements.
After diagnosing and analyzing the data, the system can give an opinion on the state of health, make an appointment with the necessary specialist for further examination, write a prescription and even issue the necessary medications right on the spot. In addition, in the event of serious health problems, the mobile clinic can connect the patient with the consultant doctor on duty or deliver the patient to the nearest medical facility.
Of course, it may seem that the creation of such a mobile clinic is something from the realm of fantasy, but in fact, most of the necessary technologies are already available in one form or another. Much more concern is caused by bureaucratic red tape, because in order to put into operation similar systems, you need to do a lot of work. From improving the traffic situation and making amendments to traffic rules concerning self-driving cars, to developing a regulatory framework that will regulate the powers of AI in providing medical care to humans.
