Like so many other things in our lives, our health is now going digital. The term digital healthencompasses a convergence of health and technology that promises to make health information more accessible, more accurate, more affordable, more personalized, and perhaps most importantly, more actionable.
In his book “The Creative Destruction of Medicine” Dr. Eric Topol “enumerates how these digital technologies, social networking, mobile connectivity and bandwidth, increasing computing power and the data universe will converge with wireless sensors, genomics, imaging, and health information systems to creatively destroy medicine as we know it. He refers to this as digital medicine, or the digitization of human beings,” according to the article“What Digital Health Is (and Isn’t).”
