Readers, especially those graced with hindsight, can then assess the forecast and observe the inevitable inaccuracies. I have been asked to join those ranks and cheerfully accept the challenge of forecasting some startling new technologies that will change the practice of medicine. I will focus on existing technologies that are in various stages of development and on extensions of those technologies. The five areas of technological innovation that I think will change medicine in startling ways are molecular medicine and biometrics, nanotechnology, wave technology, fabricators, and robotics and simulation (box 1). These technologies already have had individual and collective effects on some aspects of medicine and their influence is increasing.1 Alvin Toffler was correct when he said, “Technology feeds on itself. Technology makes more technology possible.”2 Four brief scenarios illustrate the types of changes I envisage. #### Box 1 Categories of startling technologiesJohn, who is 25 lb overweight, walks through a device that looks like an airport x ray scanner. When he emerges, about 5 lb of fat tissue has been “fried” by a laser.3 Through the normal purging processes, the fat will be gone from his body in about three days. He repeats the process every two weeks until all the extra weight is gone. No side effects are seen apart from the resizing of his wardrobe. Jane, who has hypertension and diabetes, has a barely visible radio frequency chip implanted just below the skin on her upper arm. This chip simultaneously monitors and transmits data on her heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and concentrations of blood sugar. The data are received in two places—a remote monitoring station in her general practitioner's …" @default.
