Thematic Intelligence: The Future of Healthcare

Thematic Intelligence: The Future of Healthcare

Summary

This report is part of GlobalData's Future of Industry report series. It focuses on the healthcare sector.Several technologies will drive the future of healthcare. They include 3D printing, robotics, preventive medicine, and digital therapeutics.

Key Highlights

• 3D printing is replacing traditional prototype development approaches and its use in healthcare is increasing fast. 3D printing shows great potential for drug development and delivery and is increasingly important in customizing medical devices. 3D-printed organs may also be a reality by 2035. These organs have various applications in healthcare and would fix the organ donor crisis.
• Regions like the US and Europe have aged populations and an increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, forcing healthcare systems to move from curative to preventive care. Pharma companies are concerned about the rising costs of R&D, patent expiry, and a decline in the number of promising new drug candidates. They therefore are exploring more sustainable modes, including preventive medicine. The switch will involve a collaboration between different institutions, as well as the use of gene editing, and preventive drugs.
• Surgical robotics will be widely adopted, especially for surgical procedures that require extreme precision. However, surgical robots will never fully replace surgeons and will face ethical considerations and regulations. Exoskeletons will primarily be used for patient rehabilitation but will also help individuals with neurological conditions and support the nursing profession.

• Various technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), extended reality, cloud, and gene editing, will drive changes and innovation in the healthcare industry. This report details four main trends that disrupt the healthcare sector within the next 10 years. It examines how 3D printing, robotics, preventive medicine, and digital therapeutics will develop in the healthcare industry.
• The Future of Healthcare report provides market forecasts and case studies for four technologies in the healthcare industry: 3D printing, robotics, preventive medicine, and digital therapeutics. It also evaluates the global outlook for the sector and how various challenges must be addressed for these trends to reach their full potential.
