HEALTHCAREHealthy Organs On-the-GoOpen-access to organs for patients waiting for an organ transplant will be easily available with the advent of 3D bio-printing. These 3D bio-printers will help in creating custom-made organs and body parts.

Example3D bio-printers will create custom-made organs and body parts using stem cells, proteins and other synthetic substances similar to the human collagen.

CONNECTED WORLDA Predictive WorldThe future is where there will be extended humans around us. We will be watched over by machines and will be living in a predictive world. The promise of artificial intelligence would deliver an almost seamless and magical connection between systems and humans. Nothing will be hidden yet everything will be secure.

ExampleA facial recognition system in a newly developed vending machine in Japan shows personalized ads after determining the gender and age of the person in front.

WEARABLESTask- and Job-Oriented WearablesFrom fitness bands to smartwatches, wearable tech aims to ease human life. This innovation will take the human-machine relationship to another level where wearable tech will not only simplify day-to-day tasks but also track the physical, emotional and mental health of the user.

ExampleA series of machines could accelerate creative processes like drawing and playing an instrument by aiding parts of your body to go through the motions required to learn them.

ENVIRONMENTIncreased Environmental AwarenessWith growing concerns over climate change and depleting earth's natural resources, researchers and scientists are working towards ways to increase awareness about these changes and decrease the usage of machines that have harmful effects on nature. In the future, people will use ways, resources and devices that will keep them informed of the environmental impact.

ExampleThe Wristify prototype is a personal climate-controlling wearable.

SOCIALHigh Impact on Social RelationshipsThe growing cognitive ability of Artificial Intelligence could put the human race at great risk in the future. In the recent years, AI algorithms are putting AI-driven products front-and-center in our lives. We are yet to see the impact of these innovations on human relationships and society.

ExampleBoston Dynamics’ "Spot" is a robot dog that can hop through office corridors, up concrete stairs or rocky hills with little trouble. These new-age robot animals exhibit the same behavior that we see in animals.
