I work on bringing disruptive technologies to medicine & healthcare; assisting medical professionals and students in using these in an efficient and secure way; and educating e-patients about how to become equal partners with the caregivers. I want to prove that the relation between using innovative technologies and keeping the human touch in practicing medicine is AND, instead of OR. Working with medical technology, pharmaceutical and web companies; and universities worldwide, the mission of the Medical Futurist is to make sure that the advances of technology lead to a better healthcare!
