Signal Expert outlook: healthy life expectancy up ten years or more and AI monitoring covering 70 percent of elder care
Summary
KISTEP's expert-derived outlook for hyper-personalised precision medicine attaches numbers to its expected social effects for 2030 to 2035. It projects that healthy life expectancy will rise by ten years or more. It also expects AI monitoring systems to take on 70 percent or more of elderly care, easing caregiving burdens and problems such as lonely deaths among older people who live alone. On the economic side, spending on surgery and long hospital stays is expected to fall meaningfully as resources shift toward prevention, slowing the growth of national medical expenditure and saving costs relative to GDP. These figures are forward-looking assessments produced through the study's expert process rather than observed statistics.
