From how it can grow, to how it can cure, and how the human race needs to prepare for
what's coming, join us as we show you the future of healthcare via the year 2050.
Our world right now is in a state of panic in terms of a medical perspective.
A new virus has come and reared its ugly head and many people are getting sick, and even
dying, because of it.
The governments of the world are very much looking for answers from anyone who can provide
them so that this epidemic can stop.
Looking at where we are in 2020, it's very hard to see where we will be in 30 years when
the year 2050 hits.
2050 is allegedly going to be a year that helps define the human race in the future,
but given all that is going on, you can't help but wonder if we're even going to last
until that point.
If for no other reason than the current epidemic that is hitting the planet could easily happen
again at any point with another disease, or virus, or bacteria, and so on and so forth
until eventually...we're wiped out, or we're so crippled that we can't take care of ourselves.
Either way, that's a far cry from the "utopia" some people paint for the year of 2050.
And this begs the question about the healthcare that we have right now in the world, and whether
it'll advance enough in the future to help us fight things like this from ever happening
again.
The state of healthcare all over the world is without a doubt divided.
And by "divided" I mean that each country has their own beliefs about Healthcare system
and how its people should get it.
"According to a major 2016 UK study, urgent action is needed to control the use of antibiotics
before they stop working and leave a number of major conditions untreatable.
Resistance to antibiotics is growing at such an alarming rate that they risk losing effectiveness
entirely, which means that medical procedures such as caesarean sections, joint replacements
and chemotherapy could soon become too dangerous to perform and unless serious action is taken
soon, drug resistant infections will kill 10 million people a year by 2050!"
That is an incredible amount of people that could die because of things that used to be
treated very easily.
And the study further noted that this could get even worse:
"Drug resistant infections are thought to be growing due to over-use of medicine such
as antibiotics and anti-fungus treatments to treat minor conditions such as the common
cold.
With overuse, resistance to the drugs builds up and some conditions become incurable.
Research has also suggested that antibiotic use in pig farming is common as poor living
conditions mean such treatment is necessary to prevent infections spreading between livestock
and that this passes down to humans through pork consumption, increasing resistance levels
further.
In the UK, 45% of all antibiotics are given to livestock.
The study estimates that without action now, the cost of the antibiotic failure will be
$100 trillion between before 2050 and antimicrobial resistance might soon become a greater threat
to mankind than cancer currently is.
"
Overcoming the greed of pharmaceutical companies is a major thing that has to be done in order
make healthcare better as we get to 2050.
Because the higher the prices go up for things like basic medicine and necessary supplies
to live, the more the people are going to hurt, and you can't have a utopia if people
on various levels are sick or dying because they can't get what they need.
Or, someone who has no family history of cancer and no reason to have it will get it for some
random and arbitrary reason.
It's random, and it sucks, and it's killing people.
What's more, one of the only ways we know how to "treat" it is through chemotherapy,
which is highly dangerous in its own right and can cause all sorts of problems for the
person even IF the cancer is killed.
If medicine is going to advance, it can't just be at the most basic of medicine levels,
it has to be at all levels.
So that we can look at a cancer patient, identify what kind of issue
they
are having, and then give them a treatment plan that will more than likely work WITHOUT
destroying their body or putting them through unnecessary pain.
It may be a pipe dream where we are right now, but there are a lot of people working
on it, and there is always hope that we can get it to work.
Cancer research is one of the biggest fields of medicine, and though it might take an unspecified
amount of time to get to where we want to be with getting a true cure or fix for it,
it could come.
And when it comes, it'll change the world as we know it.
Furthermore, with the growth of AI technology, we could have pharmacies with personal diagnostic
stations that will
scan
a person, take a small blood sample, and have an AI note
things that they may need to do, or medicine to get in order to feel better.
