Anesthesiology in 2030 is a project to promote and support the continued growth of the field, while also exploring its future directions, challenges, and opportunities. The project focuses on three main areas to foster success: continuing education opportunities, medical student and resident leadership, and research collaboration with academia and industry. Anesthesiology is a medical branch that occupies a huge percentage of patients' time and money, but are we ready for the future?
Anesthesiology has long been identified as a growing specialty, with a projected rise in patient volumes and demand. In 2030, we will be able to use our phones to self-monitor and practice with real-time demonstrations of anesthetic procedures. In addition, we will be able to teleoperate equipment remotely, while being in a safer environment that can accommodate many more people with different ages and abilities. In 2030, surgeons will be able to practice new procedures on portable devices developed for this purpose. The technology will reduce the need for medical staff and enable international collaboration, ensuring the safest and highest quality care for patients.
In 2030, we will utilize the power of technology to improve healthcare. We will have virtual classrooms where students can visit great places to learn about history and science or sit in on surgeries which they may one day be able to perform themselves. By 2030, there will be an app that allows anyone to self-moniter and practice anesthesiological procedures from the comfort of their own home. By 2030, our mobile devices will automatically alert us when we're overusing our hands in a way that will cause injury. They'll also display step-by-step instructions for complicated procedures that can be accessed remotely.
