Description
The Creative Destruction of Medicine: How the Digital Revolution Will Create Better Healthcare The digital revolution is transforming every aspect of medicine, from physical exams to drug prescriptions to organ transplants. Mobile technology has transformed our lives, and personal genomics is revolutionizing biology. Yet, despite the availability of technologies that can provide wireless, personalized healthcare at lower cost, the medical community has been slow to adapt. Eric Topol, a leading voice in the field, calls for consumer activism to demand innovation and the democratization of medical care. In this book, he provides a comprehensive account of the coming disruption of medicine, exploring how genomics, big data, and digital technology are changing the face of healthcare. The result is a compelling vision of a future where technology and medicine converge to create better health outcomes for all.
