How Robotics Will Build the Hospital of Tomorrow
Healthcare systems are facing growing pressure from workforce shortages, rising demand, and increasingly complex care. Medical robotics has the potential to fundamentally reshape how healthcare is delivered, not by replacing healthcare professionals, but by enabling them to work smarter, faster, and at a much greater scale. This discussion builds on the vision of the Hospital of the Future initiative, in which healthcare providers, knowledge institutions, and industry collaborate to develop the next generation of healthcare concepts and medical technologies. Together, they aim for a tenfold increase in healthcare productivity by 2050 while maintaining high-quality, accessible care.
In this session, five experts from healthcare, medical robotics, policy, industry, and innovation will explore how the next generation of robotic technologies can transform the hospital of the future. From intelligent assistance and automation to precision interventions and autonomous robotic systems, the discussion will focus on one ambitious question: Can robotics help increase healthcare productivity while improving the quality of care?
Through diverse perspectives and an interactive discussion, the session will look beyond today's technologies and explore what healthcare and hospitals could look like in the coming decades and what scientific, clinical, technological, and societal breakthroughs are needed to make this future a reality.
