Top 100 Health Trends in 2017

From AI Oncology Clinics to Natural Respiratory Lozenges

From AI oncology clinics to natural respiratory lozenges, the top 2017 health trends range from high-tech to low-tech solutions.

On the futuristic end of the spectrum, the top 2017 health trends reveal the rapid advancement of AI and VR technology. For instance, Florida's Jupiter Medical Center is set to become the first in the world to use IBM's Watson supercomputer as an aid for doctors working in oncology. Equally impressive, surgeons such as Leonard Kranzler at the University of Chicago are now using a VR training tool called ImmersiveTouch to practice different procedures.

Of course, not all of the latest health breakthroughs are so high-tech. On the opposite end of the spectrum, many consumers are looking for all-natural options such as the dōTERRA Breathe Respiratory Drops, to treat simple medical concerns such as the common cold.
