Introducing to you the Forward clinic, a futuristic doctor’s office that looks more like an Apple store than a traditional medical center. Located in San Francisco, Forward offers a hi-tech approach to healthcare where members have unlimited access to the clinic’s medical resources. The medical tools, which are driven by artificial intelligence, include full-scale body scanners, digital stethoscopes, and an online doctor that can diagnose medical issues and suggest treatment plans. As for all the data these resources collect, they can be viewed by the patients via an app. Much still needs to be done to perfect and scale this gadget-filled doctor’s office, but for now, it provides an exciting glimpse into what the medical world may look like in the future.
