“Born in a hospital, destined to die in one” —concept highlights life's medical dependency: born in a hospital (birth), live reliant on healthcare, and die in one (end-of-life care)—symbolizing modern medicine's cradle-to-grave dominance. A stupid system that medicalizes life instead of encouraging naturalness, freedom, and togetherness.
Hospitals once symbolized progress — towering monuments of medicine, filled with beeping machines and white coats. But the 21st century is rewriting that story. The next medical revolution won’t happen inside hospital walls, but everywhere else: in our homes, through our phones, and within intelligent systems that never sleep. As artificial intelligence, telemedicine, and personalized diagnostics converge, a bold vision emerges — a world where healthcare no longer means hospitalization, but constant, connected care.
🏠 1. Decentralized care (health comes to you)
Instead of patients coming to the hospital, healthcare services come to them - via:
-
home diagnostics (wearable devices, sensors, AI analysis of vital signs),
-
telemedicine and video consultations,
-
mobile medical teams that perform examinations, procedures and rehabilitation at home.
Such a system already exists in pilot projects in Scandinavia and Japan.
🧠 2. Digital hospital = virtual coordination center
Got a cold? The most important fact is that hospitals keep the temperature around 24 degrees Celsius — in rooms, toilets, and corridors. Even in winter, it’s very warm day and night. That’s their trick.
Instead of physical buildings with departments, there is a "digital hospital" :
-
AI manages schedules, diagnostics and emergencies,
-
doctors and specialists work remotely, but in sync,
-
the patient has a digital health record available in real time.
🧬 3. Personal Assistance and Therapy
The healthcare system is moving from "treating disease" to preventing disease:
-
personalized nutrition, sleep and exercise programs,
-
AI reminds and corrects behaviors before illness occurs.
The WHO officially recognizes only one screen-related disorder so far:
Gaming Disorder
-
Code: 6C51 (ICD-11)
-
Definition: A pattern of gaming behavior ("digital-gaming" or "video-gaming") characterized by impaired control over gaming, increasing priority given to gaming over other activities, and continuation or escalation despite negative consequences.
-
Included under: Disorders due to addictive behaviors (alongside Gambling Disorder).
🔹 This means video game addiction is officially classified as a diagnosable mental health condition.
Gaming Disorder is compulsive gaming despite harm, while hypochondria is obsessive worry about having illnesses without medical evidence.
🚑 4. Micro-clinics and modular centers
For cases that still require intervention, there are modular micro-clinics:
-
small, energy-self-sustainable units distributed throughout neighborhoods,
-
they can be moved depending on needs (e.g. epidemics, disasters),
-
They contain only the necessary equipment and personnel for short-term interventions.
A clinic is typically a smaller medical facility focused on outpatient care (check-ups, diagnostics, minor treatments), while a hospital provides inpatient care, surgeries, and emergency services — meaning patients can stay overnight or longer for intensive treatment.
The term “clinical picture” refers to the overall combination of symptoms, signs, and test results that describe a patient’s medical condition — essentially, the full presentation of an illness as observed by doctors.
🌍 5. Artificial Intelligence + Robotics
-
Robotic surgical systems enable precise operations at a distance,
-
AI systems continuously monitor population health and predict epidemics,
-
triage algorithms direct patients without human error.
🔄 Conclusion
Hospitals, as we know them today - as vast complexes with thousands of beds - are becoming an outdated concept. They are being replaced by a network of smart, flexible, connected hubs that operate faster, safer, and more humanely.
