Abstract

Background: Future studies are the science of shaping the future, in a conscious, scientific, and future-thinking way that protects people from surprises from a storm of dramatic changes and developments. Foresight is a systematic way of looking at the long-term future and making appropriate decisions. This knowledge is a type of study method that strives to unite and integrate the talents and abilities of individuals to create a desirable and ideal future for themselves. Researchers with different research methods emphasize the study of various technological solutions to increase the quantity and quality of healthcare delivery. We need deeper research to get a good understanding of these technologies. The development of health technologies can improve health levels, living standards, and economic growth, and some of these technologies such as telemedicine, the Internet of things, the 3D virtual world, etc. Have reduced medical costs and medical malpractice. Nevertheless, new technologies related to diagnosis, prevention, and rehabilitation will lead to changes in the methods of healthcare delivery. So various technologies create new and different demands and due to widespread changes in health technologies, foresight, and future thinking in health technologies are of great importance. Objective: These studies provide valuable insights into the future trends and potential impacts of emerging technologies. This information helps healthcare providers and policymakers make more informed strategic decisions about technology investments and implementation. Also helps healthcare organizations identify and mitigate potential risks associated with the adoption of new technologies, ensuring a smoother and more successful implementation process. this study aims to highlight the importance of digital health development (telemedicine, Internet of Things, 3D virtual world) and their foresight. Main Ideas: In summary, healthcare technology development is crucial for strategic planning, efficient resource allocation, improved patient care, and fostering innovation, all of which contribute to the transformation of healthcare delivery. Conclusion: Therefore, a special focus on foresight and the construction of new digital technologies in health to better manage time, and resources, and increase speed and accuracy in health services is essential. So, engineers and medical science professionals need to take a forward-thinking view and pay attention to uncertainties and spaces full of changes and the prediction of future demand in healthcare organizations is an essential element of the planning process.
