2030: Healthcare
Healthcare: Rather than having a system of 'sick-care' that fixed people after things went wrong, we've transitioned a good part of the system to real 'healthcare' - anticipating what people are likely to become sick with.

Healthcare: Rather than having a system of 'sick-care' that fixed people after things went wrong, we've transitioned a good part of the system to real 'healthcare' - anticipating what people are likely to become sick with. Based on that knowledge, we've realigned the architecture of the healthcare system to deal with health care issues on a proactive, rather than reactive, basis. How? Genomics, mobile devices, embedded in-body health sensors and real time analytical predictive health care dashboards led us to a world in which we could predict the emergence of particular health care issues and risks on a real time basis. This resulted in a fundamental re-alignment of resources to manage any particular issue - 'disease management' became a world of 'disease action planning.' We also rode the acceleration of science into a world of advanced 'body part replacement surgery. Everything, from from kidneys to eyes, teeth implants to skin grafts, are now grown in labs for use in surgical and other medical procedures.
