Healthcare technology is transitioning from the predictable pace of Moore’s Law to the unexpected challenges highlighted by Moravec’s Paradox.

Moore’s Law and Healthcare Technology

• Predictable Progress: Moore’s Law, the observation that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles roughly every two years, has driven rapid advancements in computing power. This exponential growth fuelled the development of powerful healthcare technologies like:

  • Medical Imaging: High-resolution scans like MRI and CT, enabling precise diagnoses.

  • Telemedicine: Remote patient monitoring and virtual consultations, expanding access to care.

  • Data Analysis: Powerful computers analyzing vast datasets to identify patterns and predict outcomes.
