The Economist   Intelligence Unit   PERSPECTIVES
 
WEEKLY DIGEST | Issue #88
Hi Bhinneka,
Imagine being diagnosed by an AI doctor, having your organs 3D printed, or having nanometer-sized robots roaming around your body to monitor your health. Are you excited or scared? All of these technologies might seem like science fiction for now, but they could become reality in the next 25, or even 5 years.
Last year, the EIU explored the future of transport in "The future is already here" series, sponsored by Toray. We looked at how driverless cars and floating trains will change how we commute in the future, and even the possibility of moving to Mars. Launching next week in this series, we will take a futuristic look at healthcare with brand new content. Stay tuned!
