Additionally, the use of robots is still limited within the healthcare system but, in the long term, there will also be great potential in using robots both for clinical and logistical tasks in hospitals and as welfare technology solutions. In relation to the development of new medicines, digital technology can help support the processes and AI algorithms such as fold proteins can support the work here. Likewise, a potential future quantum computer can help simulate complex chemical interactions.

Finally, there is great potential in exploiting the fact that many citizens and patients are beginning to have advanced smartphones, where prescribing an app can in some cases be an alternative to medical treatment or hospitalization.
