The technologies discussed will solve urgent needs at a critical time for healthcare by bringing remote diagnostic abilities, automation, and scalability to a market struggling with supply and demand challenges; including, but not limited to:

• a growing patient population which is living longer, but with more chronic
  comorbidities
• escalating provider shortages
• an increasingly complex and sub-specialized healthcare
• ballooning costs
• healthcare access and equity issues

The Crystal Ball team identified six major topic areas:

1. Artificial Intelligence including machine learning and natural language processing
2. Expanded applications and use of telehealth/telemedicine
3. Solution platforms: APPs, electronic health record (EHR) integration/data
   management, bioWare/bioSensors
4. Virtual and augmented reality
5. Drones
6. Robotics
7. Hearables
