The Future Of Hospitals - The Medical Futurist

The COVID pandemic has revealed the fragility of healthcare systems and how clinics and hospitals were completely unprepared for the crisis.
However, this is just part of a bigger problem. In many ways healthcare facilities are still stuck in the 20th century and are long overdue for a top-to-bottom overhaul with digital health leading the way.
So in my latest video episode, I’d like to talk about new ways of thinking about healthcare, and how hospitals should be redesigned for the 21st century.

This video captures virtually all that has been in my head about the future of healthcare. My mouth was wide open in excitement and aw as I watched till the end.

[@ejazrahim4183]

futuristic approach just missing one robopatient only all other aspects has been managed paramountly this trivial item was misssing.

[@wondertraveller9928]

Next challenge will be making all these economically feasible, especially in developing countries

[@mathiasdakey8887]

I am an undergrad, studying for BSc in Medical Imaging and considering medical school. It's fascinating what the future of medicine can be if we dare to dream and are ready to put in the hard work required.

Wat u think nurse will required in future or not

[@eugenek.4706]

Great and informative video! I'm a senior in high school and I'm thinking of taking a medical route in my studies, and these videos really give me a head-start in terms of thinking about the future of medicine. Keep up the good work!

[@Medicalfuturist]

Many thanks, Eugene! And good luck to you!

[@sarahjameson1180]

This was super interesting - would love to see each one of the sections mentioned in separate more detailed videos :)

[@Medicalfuturist]

Great idea!

[@IbrahimKhan-qt2qz]

Thank you for sharing such a valuable information about how future hospitals should be designed!

[@Medicalfuturist]

Thank you, Ibrahim!

[@human7740]

You are very optimistic, Mr. Mesko. It gives me hope for a better future. Thank You.

[@Medicalfuturist]

Hope so!

Working in the home health industry for almost 2 decades caring for geriatrics patients. We’re geared towards preventables more than average facilities due to our duties to perform at home. We should look towards this type of practices in combination of technology to help cost-effectiveness and limit traffic by caring for non life threatening conditions at home! Reducing transmission like covid. We’ve been screaming for these types alternatives way before the pandemic. It always takes collateral damages and sacrifice innocent lives before people wake up and look at obvious. But I love your channel. I’m a big medical tech buff!

[@mnmartin73]

I really like the idea of having reclinable chairs instead of beds. Hospital beds are uncomfortable and they give me bad back pain. I fear of being hospitalized just because of that. I'd be in more pain from the bed that from the actual disease.

[@MILLZMAN90]

It's great visualising these things but when will we actually see this come to fruition?

[@cf9240]

love your position and exploration, I totally relate, appalling that the industry doesn't seem to be thinking in that direction yet...

[@cf9240]

...unfortunately 'preventative medicine' doesn't make any $$$$, but this should be the goal!

[@human7740]

I completely agree. My mum had cancer, and it did get cured, but with technology, not medicine. The technology thats used around the world, mostly in europe, but theres only like, 3 of them in the uk.

[@TheAgentAaron]

Interesting ideas but from a patient perspective, visiting one-on-one, in person with the doctor is like shopping brick & mortar vs shopping online. Sjopping online reduces travel & large crowds but does what your purchasing look like how you visualize it online looking at it 360°? Is it a true fit or does it run small or large? It is exactly the same in medicine. As my father's sole caretaker, he's had telehealth for some time due to the past year. Fortunately, it was his last and we'll be going in to the office again in August. My dad has heart, liver & kidney disease and is on home hemodialysis. Case in point, Friday before last, the day of his final telehealth, he was running fever of 101. His nephrologist believed it to be minor due to an accompanying cough. She prescribed azithromycin (4 day prescription). 3 days later, he had pain in his side, turns out he has sepsis and is currently in the hospital. There is just far too much information about a patient's condition that telehealth prevents a doctor from seeing. Sometimes, if not most all of the time, doctors need to be able to be in person with the patients for the benefit of both - so the doctor can make accurate diagnoses and so that patients have a quicker recovery. In other words, you're taking a patient-centered model and creating a doctor-centered model under the guise of improving patient care.

[@ericgeorge7874]

Not totally. The COVID-19 pandemic over capacity problems was because of simply not enough staff, room and equipment. The hospital rooms today show to the patient is in a clinical environment and also a very professional place, distinctive, and therefore comforting to the patient that they are where they should be to get the help they need (that said a few pleasing pictures around is good). Also yes there is an early trend having non-complex healthcare and censoring at the patients home, but it also reduces the emotional connect with the provider (which can lead to some issues).

[@JohnMarchionifinalpick]

i hope you we can gwt thier very soon. because i just got out of two and ya one was a lot better than the other howevr i like your way of going about the service

[@americanpatriot7702]

Great video, thank you very much

[@Medicalfuturist]

Glad you liked it!

[@houndofzoltan]

My friend, who's a doctor, says that half his patients aren't sick, they're there to have a chat and get some reassurance. How will that work with telemedicine I wonder?

[@Nn.65juk]

[@vanw1504]

How do you see the role of hospital pharmacists in the models you discussed?

[@horsewithnoname8795]

Telemedicine would be useful only on a very limited scale, nothing can substitute a physical examination from a qualified doctor who can observe things like a sweet smell in the patient's breath (indicative of diabetes) or listen to a patient's lungs or heart's sounds. I do believe however, that technology should be used more extensively for instance; it would be useful for a nursing station to have video connection to a patient's room so as to visually see him or her when they ring, or have them wear arm bends or devices that constantly monitor and transmit vitals to the nursing station, or even have robots with cameras that constantly roam rooms, or assign a robot assistant to each patient, that stays with that patient throughout his hospitalization, and monitors vitals, alerts the nurse, orders food and other things. As far as "lonely environment" I say "dude, please!" When a patient is sick, in pain or just out out surgery they have very unique individual needs especially for silence, low lights, a germ free environment, space for relatives and medical personnel etc. What patient recovering from heart bypass or post transplant, or even a woman who just gave birth wants a roommate who snores like a logger, farts up a storm, coughs and hocks up loogies all day long, or moans, or wants the light on until 2 in the morning or watches tv at a 1000 decibel? I don't think there is one patient who feels "lonely" and wants another person in his room, I certainly don't!

[@adebayodavid2031]

telemedcine also comes with quick lab results. youd be able to know if the patient is in DKA from the lab results

[@deisikusztra789]

👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ great!!!!

paradigm shift you are discussing will take time and a shift of money....money will be the biggest factor. Insurance companies, gov't reimbursement, unions, etc have to buy in a lot of wars

Thanks for the visit

[@Harshanth]

Are there medical institutions currently practicing healthcare close to this dream?

[@threestringguru]

And do you have any proof at all that preventative care is cost effective ?

[@Medicalfuturist]

One example: smw.ch/article/doi/smw.2011.13266

[@myhumblebeginnings]

I am following your video until I notice that your concept of patient design could be extended to so many applications involving human. Can you or anyone else here pinpoint me one paper concerning the concept of "Human Design" or the like. I will take it from there. Thank you very much.

[@Medicalfuturist]

We are literally working on such a paper now at The Medical Futurist Institute. It's in peer review now. I'll share once it's published.

Why the walls need to be white? Have you done any study on the color impact on health patients? :)

[@Medicalfuturist]

Others did. They didn't find a difference: www.brikbase.org/sites/default/files/WALL%20COLOR%20OF%20PATIENT%E2%80%99S%20ROOM-%20EFFECTS%20ON%20RECOVERY.pdf

[@david69funk]

When do you think nanotechnology will be mainstream.

[@blauesKopftuch]

To be honest, I get the impression that you lack any clinical experience. The problem is not in what century healthcare is stuck, the problem is healthcare is stuck in "having to generate profits" instead of "generate health". When was the last time a military branch was asked to generate profits? Military is a service to the public, it generates border security. Healthcare should be seen in the same way, generating health for the public. A more healty population can generate mor profits for everyone. Healthcare should benefit the ill, not ill benefit the healthcare shareholders.
