What’s in it for me? Get insight into the future of medicine!

We’ve all been through the routine at the doctor’s: spending hours in the waiting room next to sniffling, coughing people, which increases the risk of us getting sicker than we were in the first place. And, when we finally get to see the doctor, we usually get 15 minutes or less of face time and a prescription for an expensive medicine that might work if we’re lucky. And that’s only if we live in a part of the world with easy access to doctors.

But this doesn’t have to be our future. New technology is changing the way medicine is practiced and who is able to do it. It’s leading to a power shift and an overhaul in what has become today’s medical industry. So let’s take a look into a future where we turn the tables and say: “The patient will see you now.”

In these blinks, you’ll find out:

why new technology decreases the need for hospitals;
how an app can save you from a trip to the dermatologist; and
how mobile phones will improve health care in the developing world.

Smartphones allow greater access to medical information and will soon give patients much more power to diagnose themselves.

Smartphones have revolutionized much of our lives. They provide easy access to unprecedented amounts of information with only a simple mobile connection, which is available to 95 percent of the population. They’ll no doubt have a big impact on medicine, too.

Smartphones will soon make autonomous medicine possible, that is, they’ll allow people to diagnose themselves. We already have some tools for it, such as the app SkinVision.

SkinVision allows you to send a photo of a skin lesion to a doctor, who can determine whether it’s benign or not.

And photos are just the beginning. Microscopic scans will soon have such powerful zooms that we’ll be able to scan ourselves for certain types of bacteria. Tuberculosis is diagnosed by checking a sputum sample for the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Soon, anyone with a smartphone will be able to test themselves for tuberculosis.

Smartphones also have the potential to radically change the health situation in countries where people don’t have easy access to medical professionals. In 2010, the average number of doctors and nurses per 1,000 inhabitants in sub-Saharan African countries was 1.1. In the United States, the figure was 12.3.

Mobile connections also provide people with greater access to health information. In 2013, over 630 million people in Africa had cell phones, 93 million of which were smartphones. Even non-smartphones can have an impact on public health. The South African project Masiluleke, for example, sends millions of text messages every day encouraging people to get checked for HIV/AIDS.

But, of course, smartphones are still more powerful. The biotechnology company Nanobiosym even recently unveiled Gene Radar, a tiny chip that plugs into a mobile device and can analyze a drop of blood or saliva for tuberculosis, malaria and HIV. Gene Rader will allow people to diagnose themselves for those diseases at a cost ten times cheaper than the market price today.

Technology will shift power from doctors to patients.

In the modern medical world, patients have grown accustomed to following their doctor’s orders. But this will change in the future.

Doctors have long been considered all-powerful authorities of medicine. In fact, even Hippocrates, the Ancient Greek philosopher, said that physicians should conceal information from patients for their own good.

Technology will overhaul our current medical infrastructure.

As smartphones give people more power, the medical world will change, too.

We’ll make fewer trips to the doctor, for one. Virtual health-care services like Doctor on Demand, MD Live and Teladoc already allow patients to consult a physician without having to go anywhere. A standard Teladoc appointment is roughly the same price as an in-person visit, but Teladoc service is open 24/7 and there’s no waiting time. That’s much more convenient than waiting an hour to see a doctor for only ten minutes.

We’ll soon be able to produce a complex map of everyone’s individual medical information.

We now have unprecedentedly powerful tools for collecting and storing data. This is another technological change that will soon have a huge impact on the medical world.

We’re currently moving toward developing a kind of Google Maps for humans: a Graphic Information System, or GIS, that superimposes multiple layers of information onto a single map.

A human GIS and access to big data would radically improve health care.

What will we do with all the new information the human GIS will provide?

The human GIS will enable us to use a lot of new treatment methods. The physiological layer will help us keep track of symptoms, such as monitoring an asthmatic child’s airways with biosensors. That would allow the child’s parents to predict when her next asthma attack might hit so they can make sure her inhaler is on hand.

Big data may even allow us to predict common diseases.

Do you know anyone with diabetes? You probably do, because it’s one of the most common chronic illnesses. Roughly 29 million Americans have it.

Chronic illnesses are difficult to treat because they often can’t be cured. Treatment focuses on managing their symptoms, so patients may suffer from symptoms their entire lives.

Detailed medical data is dangerous if it falls into the wrong hands.

Big Data has enormous power to revolutionize the medical world. Unfortunately, that power could also be used for evil.

Medical identity theft is already a problem in today’s world. People can steal your medical identity and use it to obtain treatments like prescription drugs. They can also use your insurance information to pay for their own medical treatment, or treatment for other people.

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
