In the last 5 years there has been a surge in new technologies for healthcare, predicted to transform the field. The effect on the medical profession is profound. At the moment technology often hinders rather than helps. Moving forward more and more technologies like artificial intelligence will take over doctors' skills, presenting an uncertain future.
