Abstract
In this chapter we provide a vision of sustainable health products and service solutions in the future. Probably some will turn out to be wrong. However, forecasts can prevent certain unwanted developments. Another purpose is to trigger changes or initiate developments by playing the role of a self-fulfilling prophecy. In all cases, sustainability has proven to be a paramount paradigm not only of importance for the present but even more for the future.
