Advances in areas like preventive medicine, biotechnology, computational power, and human genomics will generate new opportunities to address clinical problems through novel approaches. This will move medicine from treatment to disease prevention and allow for personalized, individualized treatments. However, technological progress may also raise complex ethical issues around privacy and genetic manipulation that need to be addressed. Additionally, health inequalities between socioeconomic groups remain a challenge as health improvements often benefit high-income groups more than low-income groups. Going forward, applied medical scientists will be the main market for pure medical science and research, which will need innovative strategies to solve problems not answered by current methods.

Due to tremendous scientific development in areas not included
previously in traditional clinical research (like preventive medicine
and biotechnology), this will generate significant opportunities to
address clinical problems from new look and in new approaches.
As an example, advancement in handling computational power and
clearly increased use of data on human genomics opens the doors
towards personalized medicine and individualized treatments
designed for the individual patient, moreover, moving the concerns
from treatment to prevention of disease. Likewise technological
advances expecting however to create new research dilemmas
by raising complex ethical questions (like, those adhering to
privacy issues and genetic manipulations). Such a complexity
shall definitely need to be properly addressed to avoid fragile the
legitimacy of medical research and throwing it away from the
advantages that advances in research can bring to society. More far,
the issues related to prioritization are still an issue of complexity
within the healthcare system. As it is well known that Improving
health creates economic growth, yet health and economy are
operating in other modality: the health of those with high socio-
economic status improve better than individuals with lower
socio-economic status. Which is reflected as health inequality
and emerging as an important socio-economic challenge in both
developed and developing countries, since health interests are is
not equally and adequately distributed across the whole population
in the society. As one of the future major concerns regarding pure
medical science and researches, is that the main ‘market’ for pure
medical science would be the applied medical scientists, who
need radical strategies to solve problems which are not yielding
to established methods. And achieve that goal, to create elite pure
medical science bodies , that might come from the leadership of
academic ‘entrepreneurs’ (for instance, imaginative patrons in the
major funding foundations), or be triggered by a widespread public
recognition of the probable exhaustion of existing applied medical
science approaches to solving major therapeutic challenges.
