Eric Topol MD
In The Patient Will See You Now, Eric Topol, one of the nation's top physicians, examines what he calls medicine's "Gutenberg moment". Much as the printing press liberated knowledge from the control of an elite class, new technology is poised to democratize medicine. In this new era, patients will control their data and be emancipated from a paternalistic medical regime in which "the doctor knows best."
Mobile phones, apps, and attachments will literally put the lab and the ICU in our pockets. Computers will replace physicians for many diagnostic tasks, and enormous data sets will give us new means to attack conditions that have long been incurable. In spite of these benefits, the path forward will be complicated; some in the medical establishment will resist these changes, and digitized medicine will raise serious issues surrounding privacy. Nevertheless, the result - better, cheaper, and more humane health care for all - will be worth it.

A few of the many surprising things he predicts are diagnosis, testing, and ongoing monitoring by use of Smart Phones, hospitals with no beds with homes being medically equipped instead, no need for doctor's office visits, good medical care for all socioeconomic groups (what a concept), and individualized medical care. This would include more patient input on their own medical care and choices of treatment by making all medical info available to the individual, such as test results and doctor notes.
This is a very brief summary that I have included above. There is so more I haven't mentioned. All of it fascinating!
Topoll's predictions are mind-blowing and something for us to look forward to and hope for, while fully acknowledging the medical profession's conservative stance and unwillingness toward change.
This is an important book and a great listen. It moves quickly and easily with a fine narration. Highly recommended.
