Patients deserve more. They deserve not only providing them with the best available treatment, follow-up, and counseling, but they need also to benefit from major advances made in various fields of science and are expected to have an impact on medicine in near future. Surgery has always benefited well from advances made in engineering, imaging, electronics, and computer science for improving understanding of mechanism of disease, developing new techniques for diagnostics, operative tools, postoperative monitoring, and interpretation of outcomes of surgery. Today, the exponential advancements made in the field of communication technologies have brought many, and in a very short time, new concepts that were introduced to us but the field was not able to absorb them as fast as these were developed and offered. One possible limitation being the lack of effective flow of information, involvement of clinicians, and slowness of the process of introducing new advances in other science disciplines to medical education curricula, training, or specialty continuous learning. Therefore, it is mandatory to keep this flow in appropriate pace and continuous especially to the specialty of craniomaxillofacial surgery through our leading journal, the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery.To bring things together in a holistic care, 1 future therapy will comprise automated smart implants that can function according to need, for example, release appropriate molecules as needed, take and eliminate others, heal if damaged, etc. To achieve the vision of having autonomous implants, we need to develop implants with not only sensors and actuators but also with communication capabilities. Through connecting to the Internet of Things and the hardware and software tools available in cloud, smart devices will be independent with no need for interference from us. This development will take stages,
