An easy to read guide to future health. Introducing recent history and ev- eryday examples of progress as evidence of trends, it looks to the future of health technologies and their interactions with everyday lifestyle with informed optimism, avoiding unnecessary jargon. Covering areas from personal health recording to cheap DNA sequencing and AI assistance, it shows how the reader can take control of their own health and the many future opportunities for improving it. It also explores when we will get the technologies we see in sci-fi movies. All of this makes it a compelling but easy-going read.

This one is just fantastic, an encyclopedic work by one of the recognized experts. No need to Google about the future of medicine, this book is like a search-engine on itself, about the amazing facts & possibilities of our health, but upgraded!

Dr. Rafael J. Grossmann,

Introduction

The technological revolution has posed big questions. What is the purpose of the human race? Can we retain the human touch in medicine while at the same time embracing disruptive innovations? Should we upgrade our health with everadvancing technologies? Shall we keep our distance from artificial intelligence or robotics used in healthcare?

News every day makes us feel as if we live in a science fiction world. Exoskeletons let paralyzed people walk again. Algorithms diagnose medical conditions. The wearable revolution and a swarm of new sensors offer society amazing advantages but create risks we have never had to think of before. All this, and yet there are still many areas on earth where no care is delivered at all.

If we dont improve our skills and creativity, then robots and software will not only get better at doing our jobs but also render digital care without human interaction or empathy. The future we desire most should not be determined by technology, but by our chance to live healthily in freedom. It wont happen without us taking concrete steps. We should work harder to demonstrate why the human brain is the most complex object in the universe.

Rising healthcare costs in the face of decreasing quality of care should lead to the use of more and better technologies than what we have now. I hope to persuade you that we can make healthcare accessible and affordable worldwide, and to show that the road to it is paved with disruptive technologies. Ill further illustrate how technology can increase empathy, the human touch, and the doctorpatient relationship.
