This study sheds light on the most important future aspects of the work of medical frameworks, and examines the effects of health digitization on the practice of doctors and health workers. It highlights how advances based on automation, nanotechnology, biotechnology, big data, cognitive sciences, and artificial intelligence pose huge challenges for the future of human work in medicine and healthcare, whether in its nature, pace, or environment, and how all these future influences lead to a main conclusion, which is the need to work from today on making labor markets and education and training systems adapt to these profound transformations, with reference to Arab contexts and their employment within it.
