8 emerging technologies that could revolutionize the life sciences
The transistor was invented in 1947. Since then, computing capacity has increased exponentially. We’re improving our tools and creating knowledge at an unprecedented pace, but that trend hasn’t done much for health care or the life sciences. At least, not yet.
Right now is the “transistor moment” for the human body. In the coming decades, health care will begin to improve at the same radical pace we’ve seen in computing. Many of the technologies that will transform medicine already exist, and we’re seeing amazing stories of early applications that are saving lives.
