New Health
We are entering a new era of
health ¨C New Health
Health matters. It matters to each of us as individuals and
to society as a whole. It lies at the heart of our economic,
political, social and environmental prosperity and is one
of the largest industries in the world.
Modern health systems can treat and cure more diseases
than ever before. New technology is bringing innovation
to old treatments. Yet signifcant quality, access and
cost issues remain and our health systems are becoming
increasingly unsustainable.
What doctor
At the heart of this report is the emergence and increasing
use of artifcial intelligence (AI) and robotics within
and throughout this New Health ecosystem. We chose
our research ¨C and the response to that research ¨C it has
become increasingly clear that policy makers, payers,
providers, educators and the public need to consider:
The answers to these two questions fundamentally
impact clinicians and caregivers throughout healthcare.
The answers will ultimately decide how we implement
the use of AI and robots in developing our healthcare
systems across the globe. We will specifcally address
these two questions in the next phase of our research
initiative, but it is important to keep them in mind as we
explore existing perceptions and attitudes towards AI and
robotics in this report.
Introduction
Would you allow a medical robot with artifcial
intelligence (AI) to examine, diagnose and
prescribe a treatment plan for you or a member
of your family with cancer Would you accept a
robot as your primary surgeon And if you were to
do so, what would the human clinician do
AI and robots have long been a theme in fction. From
Isaac Asimovˉs I, Robotˉ in 1950 to Baymax, the care
robot in Big Hero 6ˉ, weˉve long been fascinated with
the possibilities for machines that can understand,
reason and learn ¨C and help us to make better use
ofinformation.
Just imagine that you had a hand-held scanner the
size of your smartphone that could sense, compute
and recordˉ your daily health status just like the
Star Trek medical tricorderˉ. What if it could make
recommendations so that you could achieve and
maintain your optimalˉ physical or mental condition
or detect anomalies early
Robots like Baymax and tricorder scanners are not
science fction. AI and robots that support, diagnose
and treat people are already in homes, workplaces
and clinical environments all over the world. And
how we embrace AI and robotics to complement and
enhance current healthcare services over the next
ten years will defne our ability to deliver a more
responsive health service with improved health
outcomes, while at t
