Our Bodies Our Selves:
Take part in a fascinating rapid-fire journey through the looming revolutions in healthcare. The medical future is now, as information technology and improved imaging systems push the frontiers of prevention and cure on all fronts:
Portable sensors at home for detecting symptoms; 'augmented reality' apps enabling surgeons to see through anatomical structures prior to intervention; personalised DNA analysis at the patient's bedside...
Diagnosis is being transformed by artificial intelligence: IBM Watson can read 200 million pages of text in 3 seconds and suggest appropriate therapies. On the patient's side, the crowdsourcing of medical information augurs an era of universal access, and new ways for delivering health care in countries struggling to contain escalating costs.
The new mantra of public health will be to ensure populations live long but die fast, and the further frontiers combine science and fiction: uploading our minds onto a computer so as to exist posthumously in digital form, enhancing our lives by implanting recreational cyborgs: the eyesight of an eagle, the hearing of a bat... what kind of body would you like?
A group of experts will offer their fifteen-minute vision of the medical utopias — and dystopias? — which are now in our sights if not in our grasp.
