Human-Centered Medicine

One of the great misconceptions about digitalization in healthcare is that it somehow detracts from the relationship between clinicians and their patients. I see digital technologies much more as indispensable tools in enabling an even more patient-focused approach. By making high-quality care more widely available, they contribute to the democratization of healthcare, as well.

After seeing the power of digital technologies to deliver personalized medicine at scale, there will be no turning back.

The adoption of digital technologies in healthcare has been years in the making. What’s different now is that we’ve reached the inflection point in expectations among consumers and providers. That’s why 2021 will be the year healthcare truly embraces (and implements) the idea of “digital first”. My own personal experience in 2020 with family members was Human Centric medicine and personalized precision medicine was an extreme benefit to their health and wellness.
