Abstract:
Digital technology is dramatically transforming today's healthcare. Over the past decade, exponential advances in digital technology, especially in smart phones, have radically changed many aspects of everyday life. Medicine will be the next aspect. Maturation of innovative digital technologies such as next generation sequencing, internet of things, cloud computing and artificial intelligence has generated a perfect storm to revolutionize the status quo in medicine. In the near future, clinical practice will be much different than it is today. It is important to pay attention to the changes and be prepared for the inevitable tsunami of transformation. In this paper I will discuss how digital technology has been changing healthcare.
