8 technologies that are changing the future of health care

As we survey the intersection of advancing tech and healthcare, there are eight significant innovations that seem to point toward more effective healthcare system.

The internet of things (IoT)

As predicted decades ago, we’re now seeing the Internet of Things, where products containing sensors with microchips can communicate via the Internet.

Cloud computing (or the “cloud”) consists of a network of connected sensors and processors that work together online.

Cloud computing

3-D printing

Three-dimensional printers are like little on-demand factories that will fundamentally disrupt the supply chain of products worldwide as they become more prevalent.

Nanobots are tiny robots that can be put inside the human body to help fight against disease. Robots help outside the body, too.
