The Future of Healthcare:
Humans and Machines Partnering for Better Outcomes

We live in a world where data can help us make more informed decisions about how to navigate traffic, who to date, what to buy, who to network with and how to better manage our finances.

But when it comes to our personal health and wellness, we have no roadmap. We need something to show us where we are in terms of our health, with landmarks for risks and opportunities. A GPS that makes it easier to move toward our personal health goals. A new way to look at health and life.

The future of healthcare is coming. This is what it looks like.

Book reviews:

“Dr. Fombu has laid out how the convergence of connected tech devices, big data, AI, the healthcare innovation community and increasingly empowered patients will determine our healthcare landscape for some time to come” - Dacia Bryant, RPH, CDE

“An easy understanding of health and technology. It catches your interest very quickly. I recommend that people should read this and learn a lot.” - Amazon Reviewer

“Five out of five stars. Must read!!! Enthralling, smooth read; Easy to understand. A breath of fresh air and hope much needed today, in a climate where the discussion of healthcare seems ever polarizing. This is an apolitical dissertation of the current ill fated system set on the path to solution, thanks to the integration of technology. Very well done!!!” - Henleroc

The Future of Data According to Barack Obama

THE FASCINATING THING about the future is that it’s constantly changing. You’ve probably heard of the butterfly effect, which is the idea that a single beat of a butterfly’s wings could set off a chain reaction that caused a tornado on the other side of the world.

F. E. Smith and the Future of Pharmaceuticals and Insurance

It’s difficult to predict the future without first taking a look at the past. We’re going to take that a step further by examining a vision of the future from the past, courtesy of former cabinet minister and lawyer F. E. Smith, who was a friend of Winston Churchill’s. Shortly before he died in 1930, he wrote a book called The World in 2030 AD, in which he shared some predictions of what the world would look like in 100 years’ time.

An Introduction to Predictive Medicine

THE TRUE BENEFITS of artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, robotics, and data will be seen when we move away from our current fee-for-service model of healthcare and towards preventative medicine. The idea is simple: instead of waiting for people to get sick and then trying to treat their symptoms, we can head illnesses off at the pass and stop them from becoming a problem in the first place. It might cost a little more up front, but it could save the healthcare industry a huge amount of money in the long run.

Precision Medicine, The Risks of Robotics and How Susan Potter Will Live Forever

One of the biggest opportunities for artificial intelligence is its potential to power precision medicine systems and to pioneer a future in which every patient is treated as a true individual. We’re already on our way thanks to private companies like 23AndMe and huge scientific efforts like the Human Genome Project.
