No Doctor in 2040 ! - Replaced by Medicatronics Specialist

Do you believe there will be no doctors in 2040 ?

Believe it or not, its going to happen , Artificial Intelligence(AI) is going to replace doctor in future. 

Health care has to be given equally for all. It means all must be treated with hi-ended technology, starting from screening, diagnosis and treatment. It can be done by employing AI machine all over the world inter-connecting to each other. Medicatronics will come into play.

Medicatronics is the combination of Mechatronics, Medical, Robotics and AI.

Vinod Khosla an Entrepreneur, Venture Capitalist, and Philanthropist quoted it in his blog "Technology will reinvent healthcare as we know it. It is inevitable that, in the future, the majority of physicians’ diagnostic, prescription and monitoring, which over time may approach 80-percent of total doctors’/internists’ time spent on medicine, will be replaced by smart hardware, software, and testing".



This is not to say 80-percent of physicians will be replaced, but rather 80-percent of what they currently do might be replaced so the roles doctors/internists play will likely be different and focused on the human aspects of medical practice such as empathy and ethical choices.  

Healthcare will become more scientific and more consistent, delivering better-quality care with inexpensive data-gathering techniques, continual monitoring, more rigorous science and more available and ubiquitous information leading to personalized, precise and consistent (across doctors) insights into a patient.


Future will be like this in Health care:

  1. Hospital appointment will be managed by AI
  2. Counselling and queries will be done by AI
  3. Using AI, diagnosis and screening will be done.
  4. By comparing previous data from all over the world and symptoms, diseases will be identified.
  5. If need, surgery will be done by robotics.
So simply studying MBBS or any other specialist field will not help you. Hence multidisciplinary studying will make your future ease.

Potential fields like mechatronics, robotics with AI will create lots and lots of opportunity in future.
