Upcoming New Technology for General Practice
In my talk at Management at Practice the other day, I was asked to speculate on upcoming technologies and how they would affect general practice.
My list included:
- Cloud technologies breaking down the single practice barrier - enabling working at scale and perhaps easing the estates issue?
- Point of Care Testing - I think it’s about to explode!
- Wearables and home monitoring
- Augmented Reality and Goggles - an amazing tech looking for a killer use
- RPA and AI - obviously
- Real time speech recognition linked to transcription and clinical note taking
- Speech / Natural language control of UI
What did I miss? What do you think is the next big thing? Do you agree with me? Am I not being speculative enough?
