We each have personalised genome analysis at birth, and now robot doctors perform our operations. So, do we even need human doctors? Or will they need to be even MORE human?

Associate Professor Adrienne Torda is Associate Dean of Education and Innovation in the Faculty of Medicine. She is an award-winning educator, innovator and practicing clinician. As such, she is immersed in both the rapidly changing worlds of clinical medicine and tertiary education.

This talk and interview are part of Unsomnia: a series of short talks for restless minds.

Tackling the issues that keep us up at night, imagining the inconceivable and envisioning the future, UNSW researchers have just 10 minutes each to explain what life we will be living in the future.

To celebrate the 70th anniversary of UNSW Sydney, researchers were asked to take stock of what society used to be, fast forward to today’s world and look ahead another 70 years.

Hosted by Rob Brooks.
