Aus dem Klappentext

Digital has brought drastic changes in areas as diverse as music, food, travel, and social interaction. Health and healthcare have been no exception, experiencing marked upheaval over the last several years as new digital technologies are radically changing the way we think about, receive, and deliver healthcare.

In The Future of Health, renowned health innovator, thought leader, entrepreneur and investor Roberto Ascione offers readers an eye-opening exploration of the impact of the latest digital technologies on various aspects of healthcare, from devices, sensors, and signals to personal genomics. The book features a myriad of examples of technology’s effect on the lives of patients and healthcare consumers.

The author also discusses how the human interactions involved in the delivery of healthcare are changing with the technology around them. Explorations of the increasing recognition by patients, doctors, and allied health professionals of the importance of preventive medicine, the remote monitoring of disease, and digital therapies accompany discussions of how healthcare is fundamentally changing.

The Future of Health details a coming world in which doctors will be empowered by digital health technologies to interact with their patients on a more human and empathic level, and patients, as health consumers, will be central to healthcare and well-being in a shift from cure to care.

Ideal for medical practitioners and allied professionals, The Future of Health will also earn a place in the libraries of pharmaceutical professionals, medical device makers, and tech entrepreneurs active in the health innovation space, but will also interest anyone looking to take better control of their own health through digital health innovations.
