What if your cell phone could detect cancer cells circulating in your blood or warn you of an imminent heart attack? Mobile wireless digital devices, including smartphones and tablets with seemingly limitless functionality, have brought about radical changes in our lives, providing hyper-connectivity to social networks and cloud computing. But the digital world has hardly pierced the medical cocoon.
Until now. Beyond reading email and surfing the Web, we will soon be checking our vital signs on our phone. We can already continuously monitor our heart rhythm, blood glucose levels, and brain waves while we sleep. Miniature ultrasound imaging devices are replacing the icon of medicine—the stethoscope. DNA sequencing, Facebook, and the Watson supercomputer have already saved lives. For the first time we can capture all the relevant data from each individual to enable precision therapy, prevent major side effects of medications, and ultimately to prevent many diseases from ever occurring. And yet many of these digital medical innovations lie unused because of the medical community’s profound resistance to change. In The Creative Destruction of Medicine, Eric Topol—one of the nation’s top physicians and a leading voice on the digital revolution in medicine—argues that radical innovation and a true democratization of medical care are within reach, but only if we consumers demand it. We can force medicine to undergo its biggest shakeup in history. This book shows us the stakes—and how to win them.
Eric J. Topol, M.D., is professor of innovative medicine and the director of the Scripps Translational Science Institute in La Jolla, California. Trained at Johns Hopkins University, he conducted one of the first trials of a genetically engineered protein for treating heart attacks, and was the founder of the world’s first cardiovascular gene bank at the Cleveland Clinic. He lives with his family in La Jolla, California.

从医学的角度讲述科技创新的影响。虽然有很多医学专有名词不是很能读懂,但是不可否认书的价值。 作者揭露了医学界的弊病以及医学的现状,尤其是由于医疗事故的死亡人数超过交通事故和乳腺癌死亡人数总和,警醒世人。未来各行各业都要与科技联系起来,用科技去推动发展。
评分本书大部分篇幅在介绍与大数据有关或者沾边的医疗方面的信息:需要使用大样本做测试的临床试验的困难,基因测序,针对特定基因起效的药物(因而也可以看作个性化的药物),等等。作者是专业的医学工作者,内容相当专业。 比较小的篇幅谈到了目前的IT应用给医学带来的变革:便...
