If someone had told you in the middle of 2019, that you would have more remote consultations with your GP or consultant than face to face interactions by the end of 2020, would you believe them? Or that with the help of satellite technology, we could see a vast improvement in early detection of bowel cancer, without the patient even stepping foot into a hospital?
In medicine, our reliance on tech is nothing new. But COVID-19 has forced many sectors to evolve much faster than they probably would have, leading to technological innovation that we might not have thought possible just five years ago.
But what does health and wellbeing in a post COVID world look like? How much of what we have adapted to during this pandemic, will prove to be beneficial in the long run? What part will space play in our mission to save the NHS?
