Table 3.

Scenarios for Medical Practices.

Medical Practices	Pessimist	Realist	Optimistic
Precision Medicine/Individualized	The costs (financial and adaptation) are enormous, and for this reason, it will not be the usual practice.	It will be used to solve serious and critical diseases, where the cost/benefit justifies it.	Medicine will be fully focused on the citizen, with better accuracy in the personalized diagnoses and treatments.
Preventive medicine	Those responsible for the health area still have difficulties adapting to a reality focused on prevention.	Health officials will try to make health digital, with a focus on health rather than a disease, optimizing the entire HS.	The practice of medicine is focused on prevention and health promotion.
Point-of-Care (Telemedicine)	It is already a current practice when distance obliges. One should bet on its development.	Telemedicine will be used regularly, regardless of distance, and more focused on solving the problems of the citizen.	Telemedicine will be used frequently, facilitating the sharing of information between professionals for cases of complex diagnosis, and the citizen will have privileged consultations with healthcare professionals through Telemedicine and Telehealth.
Assisted Medical Practices	Healthcare professionals will have digital assistants who will help make diagnoses, but the presence of the health professional will be required.	Healthcare professionals, in some diagnoses, will be replaced by machines. The use of machines (robots) to help some medical practices (e.g., surgeries) will be more common.	The diagnoses will be made by machines, and these machines (robots) will replace healthcare professionals in clinical practices, such as surgeries.
