The document discusses how science fiction has inspired real-world medical innovations. It notes how Hugo Gernsback popularized the term "science fiction" in the 1920s when he began publishing magazines focused on the genre. The document then provides examples of technologies from Star Trek and other science fiction works that have since been developed in reality, such as wearable biosensors, virtual reality training, and devices for remote monitoring of vital signs. It concludes by encouraging attendees to think outside the box when imagining future medical technologies.
