Healthcare

Neural helmets, remote surgery and advanced body scanners. Chinese companies are redefining the boundaries of digital medicine with solutions that in Europe are still far from large-scale adoption.

Neuralink's N1 chip lets a patient move a robotic arm using thought alone. No nerves, no muscles: the signal bypasses the body entirely. The transhumanist era has already begun.

We've grown used to AI delivering perfect answers in 30 seconds. Now real people seem slow, vague, inefficient. We haven't become more demanding — we've become incompatible with human speed.

The introduction of high-resolution body scanners in non-hospital settings promises rapid preventive diagnoses, AI models for personalised healthcare and new data streams, but raises serious questions about privacy, bias and regulation.

Health‑Watch, launched by the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health and the Swiss Health Federation, utilises certified wearables, cloud‑based AI and blockchain to monitor chronic patients round‑the‑clock, cutting hospital admissions by 27 % and saving CHF 1 850 per patient each year.
