Hospitals reimagined

Hospitals are becoming specialized centers for the sickest patients and complex treatments while routine care moves to homes and digital platforms.

Mayo Clinic's approach

Mayo Clinic CEO Gianrico Farrugia says healthcare must fix the underlying architecture, not just one thing at a time.

“We have changed a massive amount in order to remain the same”

Cleveland Clinic's vision

Cleveland Clinic's vision

Cleveland Clinic CEO Tomislav Mihaljevic predicts fewer hospitals will become larger, sicker patient-focused facilities within healthcare systems.

“We will have fewer hospitals, they will be larger in size, they will care for much sicker patients, and they will not be standalone facilities but part of larger healthcare systems”

Affordability crisis

Hospital affordability is in crisis as labor costs consume 60 percent of budgets and aging populations drive demand.

“affordability is in crisis”

Robotic surgery advances

King Faisal Specialist Hospital performs fully robotic heart transplants and brain tumor procedures targeting previously untreatable conditions.

“tomorrow what is not treatable today”

AI and robotics synergy

AI and robotics synergy

Intuitive CEO Dave Rosa says combining robotics with artificial intelligence will create breakthroughs in medical interventions.

“If we take robotics and intersect it with the world of AI, that is where you get some magic happening”

Neurological innovations

Mount Sinai Health System uses AI to detect neurological changes in infants hours before they become visible to human nurses.

“Clinically, the applications are staggering; in our NICU, digital surveillance models detect subclinical seizure activity in infants hours before it becomes visible to a human nurse”

The one thing

Hospitals focus on complex care while outpatient services expand, driven by aging populations and technology.
