The future of healthcare is poised to experience transformative trends that leverage cutting-edge technologies to enhance patient outcomes, improve accessibility and streamline healthcare delivery.
These trends will profoundly affect healthcare providers, influencing the way they deliver care, interact with patients and manage healthcare processes. They will impact healthcare education, reshaping the way professionals are trained and stay updated on cutting-edge advancements. They could drive a shift toward more technology enhanced, interdisciplinary and personalized approaches in healthcare education, fostering a workforce that is adaptable, technologically proficient and capable of delivering high quality care in the evolving healthcare landscape.
ACCRAC 2025 will engage in an exploration of emerging technologies, best practices and innovation that will certainly impact the chiropractic landscape. It will provide a forum for attendees to investigate these transformative trends in healthcare such as AI, a shift towards value-based care, digital health literacy, personalisation of treatment, treating the whole person, interdisciplinary collaboration, ethical and legal considerations and wellness.
