Future progress in healthcare and medicine depends on today's investment in research, development, and education. We cannot leave such urgent issues to determine themselves, but rather must actively collaborate to ensure a stable healthcare system. This chapter describes efforts made by leading experts in industry, government, and academia to better ascertain future healthcare management. Such collaboration has occurred during a series of Future Healthcare Technology Summits helping in planning investments in health technology. Deliberating and reviewing plans before taking action will accelerate progress as it will (1) save costs, (2) encourage compliance, (3) improve clinical outcomes, and (4) ensure greater patient satisfaction. What we must resolve is: How can we invest a couple billion dollars to save hundreds of billions and, most importantly, increase human health in the future. A new branch of science, Biomechatronics, with millions of Intelligent Caring Creatures- is the answer.
医疗保健和医学的未来进展取决于当今对研究、开发和教育的投入。我们不能任由这些紧迫问题自行发展，而必须积极合作以确保医疗保健系统的稳定。本章介绍了行业、政府和学术界的顶尖专家为更好地确定未来医疗保健管理所做的努力。这种合作发生在一系列未来医疗技术峰会上，有助于规划对健康技术的投资。在采取行动之前进行审议和审查计划将加速进展，因为这将（1）节省成本，（2）鼓励合规，（3）改善临床结果，以及（4）确保更高的患者满意度。我们必须解决的是：我们如何投资几十亿美元来节省数千亿美元，最重要的是，在未来增进人类健康。一个新的科学分支——生物机电一体化，以及数百万智能关爱生物——就是答案。
