The technologicalisation of healthcare will continue in the coming period. Artificial Intelligence plays a role in this, and the use of healthcare apps will become commonplace in the coming years. Chips, implanted in the body, can lower high blood pressure or make sleep apnea manageable. Different types of insurance will arrive, to suit different lifestyles.
