Abstract

Innovations are turning the health care market into a technology-dominated sector. Artificial intelligence (AI), preventive medicine and all variations of upcoming technology will influence the health care market of the future. In the short term, it seems unthinkable in times when all expect higher costs in the future that we will accept that our economies need to lower health care costs by 20% or even more. People are getting older, leading to many additional treatments in the next decades, e.g. knee replacement treatments, cancer therapy treatments, coronary heart disease treatments and many other therapies that will emerge should people reach ages of, on average, 100 or more. The economy can only meet the requirements for successful international economic competition if we stop the upcoming explosion in health care costs, which are mostly financed by health insurance contributions and taxes. However, the reality is that our health care systems in Europe will not be able to deliver the best medicine to all people, especially not in those countries with demographic change, if the costs rise in the next decades as forecasts predict. We would like to present several ideas for and long-term scenarios of a health care revolution as well as present scientific studies, including the acceptance of users and patients, because we think acceptance by users and patients is a key factor for success in the future. Automation, BIG DATA combined with AI and patient cooperation are the requirements for a highly efficient and cost-effective health care system. Another key factor is preventive medicine. Let’s start with the idea of logic automation in health care.
