The future is not just about the technology. But it is about the human experiences which this technology and the platforms enables us to do be it an entrepreneur, be it a doctor, or be it a hospital executive. 30 years ago when doctors used to see a patient, they used to tell them how they have to take the medications. This is how the treatment will take place. But things have changed. Patients are no longer under the doctors or health system.

You have to create an ecosystem where the doctor, patient, providers, those health systems executives come under one roof on a shared decision making process.

Other transformative surgical devices which can be utilized to perform the surgeries also need to be checked.
