This quote of Nick Mason (the Pink Floyd Drummer) on trends within the music industry got me thinking about some unthinkable things we’ll see materialise as a result of the rapid convergence of mobile and health in this decade.
Here’s a few I can think we’ll reflect on:
“10 years ago it was unthinkable that I would conduct most of my consultations with Patients via Mobile Video Call” Cardiologist
“10 years ago it was unthinkable that we’d be able to move beyond the keyboard and use natural language to document consultations” Healthcare Professional
“10 years ago it was unthinkable that Endocrinologists would spend more money communicating with Patients than they would on expensive testing strips” American Diabetes Association
“10 years ago it was unthinkable that the mobile industry could do so much to drive safe sexual practice by simply ensuring that young impressionable adults only ever watched safe sexual practices” Sexual Health Nurse
“10 years ago it was unthinkable that the vast majority of our calls would be coming from inexpensive mobile connected smoke alarms” Fire Department
Please feel encouraged to add any you can think of in the comments…
