Patients Matter Most. How healthcare is becoming personal Again
Understanding the inevitable changes that technology has brought ― and will continue to bring ― to the healthcare industry will help all of us take more control over our well-being, prevent chronic diseases, and pursue care at the right time, at the right place, in the right way, from the right people. Diagnoses and treatments that once required highly specialized knowledge and equipment are becoming more widely available. Procedures and devices that existed only in large medical centers have shifted into community clinics, stores, and people’s living rooms. Today’s healthcare consumers have more autonomy than yesterday’s passive patients did.
