What will your life look like in 2035?

"In 2035, AIs are more than co-pilots in medicine, they have become the frontline for much primary care. Gone is the early morning scramble to get through to a harassed GP receptionist for help. Patients now contact their doctor's AI to explain their ailments. It quickly cross-checks the information against the patient's medical history and provides a pre-diagnosis, putting the human GP in a position to decide what to do next."

"In face-to-face consultations an AI may listen in the background, weigh the facts of the patient's case against thousands of medical studies, propose a course of drugs based on the full depth of the latest medical research, which the human doctor could never fully digest. It provides a second opinion for the doctor, who can assess its proposals before deciding how to act."

In 2035 AIs serve as the frontline for much primary care, handling patient contact, cross-checking medical history, and delivering pre-diagnoses that position human GPs to decide next steps. During face-to-face consultations AIs can listen in the background, compare case facts with thousands of studies, and propose drug courses based on the latest research. AIs act as a second opinion for doctors, who can assess and accept or reject proposals. Public opinion divides: 38% support AI triage while 52% prefer humans for trust and personal interaction. Screening uses wearables and smart toilets, and medicines become precisely tailored, improving detection and treatment but raising trust and privacy tensions.
