50 Years
How will the world of healthcare will look like in 50 years from now?
Why "Fifty Years"?
In 1931 Winston Churchill wrote a phenomenal essay called "Fifty Years Hence", in which he predicts nuclear power, cell phones, genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, and even cultured meat! He also talks about the social responsibility of scientists and technologists to build the world we actually want. While we do not endorse the entire complicated legacy of Churchill, we were inspired by the predictive insight of this essay and the message that technologists have both great power and therefore great responsibility.
Fifty years after its first introduction into the professional medical domain, ultrasound imaging is now ready to enter the consumer market space so that ultrasound can be used at home, in pharmacies, or by mobile Medicare teams. PONS`s AI-driven mobile Ultrasound technology will allow consumer without any medical background for performing medical imaging of their conditions. The system autonomously carries out the risk assessment of tissues, smart image processing, segmentation, and reporting of medical images to the doctor. By using PONS, doctors can monitor patients' complications anywhere and instantly Applications include risk assessment of critical health conditions like lung, liver, kidney, women's health conditions, bladder monitoring, and on-field injury monitoring. Shifting continuous medical care from the hospital to the home environment will help in reducing the increase in the cost of healthcare.
