Abstract

Over the last few years, technology has made massive advances in different fields of knowledge that altered our lives significantly. One of the main fields that benefited from technology and still has huge potential for development is Healthcare. Aim: this study aims to depict how the futures healthcare facilities can be organized based on healthcare technological advances such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Information Technology (IT), robotic surgery and 3D printing. Methodology: this study has been carried out by reviewing and discussing the published literature concerning the recent technological developments in the medical fields and their upcoming application in the healthcare facilities in the near future. Results: Based on the analysis of information, with future medical advances, several machines will be implemented to collect our health information continuously, integrate it into our medical reports and make informed and intelligent decisions regarding our conditions and treatment plans. Physicians can conduct their visits and consultations via telemedicine and virtual reality when they are countries apart and hospital procedures will mainly be done by robots and AI, from reception to detection (radiology, scans, etc.) to surgery. 3D printers will be able to print almost everything, from medical equipment to human body parts such as artificial bones. Conclusion: Technological and medical advances will affect our future hospitals. We must prepare for a digital future and we need to plan for the role of robotics in our hospitals and invest in research and development to further benefit from the use of technology in healthcare.
