Here is an upbeat look at future medicine. The ever cheaper cost of computing and communications promises significant improvements in telemedicine. The authors survey the possibilities. Prominent amongst these is safety. Being able to remotely monitor elderly or others who might need urgent assistance. As the proportion of elderly increases in several countries, this affords lifestyle improvements and productivity gains. In related ways, there are others who need regular monitoring of their health. The example of diabetics keeping an eye on their insulin levels in blood is given. Especially relevant, since diabetes has been increasing worldwide. For cases like this, the monitoring might be automatically done by instruments on the person, and then uploaded to a central location, for future analysis. Another improvement is for a doctor to be able to diagnose a patient remotely. Or even to conduct surgery in this manner. The latter might be still fairly rare, however.
