However, the information tsunami goes along with \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002Fread-news-breakthrough-medical-technologies\u002F\">fake news, click-bait articles and a tremendous amount of spam and scam\u003C\u002Fa>. Thus, it is difficult to find relevant data and useful material on any topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>It is problematic in every subject, but especially unsettling in the case of healthcare where your own health and body is at stake. And since it is already difficult to find relevant information about treatments, drugs or medical professionals online; you can imagine how troublesome it is to dig up well-founded information and probable trends about the future of medicine.

I love reading paper books, but I will definitely try the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog.remarkable.com\u002Fhow-remarkable-stands-out-from-other-tablets-d0cb31388a91\">paper-like tablet\u003C\u002Fa> for making notes and reading in the future. Concerning healthcare, the #1 book in digital health is Dr. Eric Topol’s masterpiece, \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FThe-Patient-Will-See-You\u002Fdp\u002F0465054749\">The Patient Will See You Now\u003C\u002Fa>. Topol is a cardiologist and director of the Scripps Translational Science Institute. He wrote an extensive and profound analysis about how digital health will bring the democratization of healthcare. Beyond Topol’s book, I recommend \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FThe-Digital-Doctor-Medicines-Computer\u002Fdp\u002F0071849467\">The Digital Doctor\u003C\u002Fa> from Dr. Bob Wachter. It captures the conflicting emotions around the future healthcare and carefully analyzes the hopes and hypes around the changes. These two books will give you an absolutely clear picture of where we are heading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If you would like to dive into comprehensive overviews about healthcare, I recommend Topol’s other book, The Creative Disruption of Medicine, which details the future of mHealth. How doctors will prescribe more mobile application than actual medication to patients; or how patients should take care of themselves and be the driving force in medicine. If you are curious about how sensors could change the way we live in every area of life, read Daniel Berleant’s \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FHuman-Race-Future-Could-Happen\u002Fdp\u002F0692482768\u002Fref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1501761759&sr=1-1&keywords=The+human+race+to+the+future\">The Human Race to the Future\u003C\u002Fa>. And if you are curious about the patients’ perspective, the \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.epatientdave.com\u002Flet-patients-help\u002F\">third book by e-Patient Dave\u003C\u002Fa>, Let Patients Help! is the most appropriate reading for you.

I also recommend his 2013 work, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FHow-Create-Mind-Thought-Revealed\u002Fdp\u002F0143124048\u002Fref=pd_sbs_14_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0143124048&pd_rd_r=ZFBQG0ZAS9SJ0D3KTYAD&pd_rd_w=Nm6FM&pd_rd_wg=QrmYY&psc=1&refRID=ZFBQG0ZAS9SJ0D3KTYAD\">How to Create a Mind?\u003C\u002Fa> where he details how to reverse-engineer the human thought in theory. How maybe in the future, we will be able to download ourselves in a digital format just as in the San Junipero episode of Black Mirror. Craig Venter also contemplated about how to transmit life through a digital format in his book entitled \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FLife-Speed-Light-Double-Digital\u002Fdp\u002F0143125907\u002Fref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1501761209&sr=1-1&keywords=craig+venter\">Life at the Speed of Light\u003C\u002Fa>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If you are interested in particular fields of healthcare, such as genomics, read Joel T.

If you rather read about the impact of A.I. on medicine, my recommendation is \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FOur-Final-Invention-Artificial-Intelligence\u002Fdp\u002F1250058783\u002Fref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1501760772&sr=1-1&keywords=our+final+invention\">\u003Cem>Our Final Invention\u003C\u002Fem>: Artificial Intelligence and the End of the Human Era\u003C\u002Fa>.
