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.
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.
我最早接触到本书的作者 - 埃里克•托普(Eric J. Topol),是来自于他2009年10月,在美国加州圣地亚哥的 TEDMED(TED医疗专场)上的演讲,题目是“The Wireless Future of Medicine”(无线医疗的未来)。他这个演讲视频,鼓励了无数期待进入“移动医疗”创业领域的...
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...
评分“医生们开着自己不太熟悉的药,诊治着自己不甚了解的病情,评判着自己一无所知的人体。”颠覆医疗这本书开篇就引申了250年托尔泰抛出的问题,简单的说就是现在的医疗水平还不足提供个性、精准的医疗服务。该书就是作者通过对已经发生的或者即将发生的具有革命思维的产品描述来...
评分现代数字技术深刻改变医疗,震撼,又充满未知、冲突、欺骗。物联网、智能设备和数据技术要颠覆的可不止是医疗。对书中印象最深的是远程医疗手术操作,真是挺颠覆现在的医疗手段,希望医疗越来越发达,爸爸已不在了,没有如果,曾经也是美国几大最好癌症诊疗医院询问遍了,最后...
评分医生们开着自己不太熟悉的药, 诊治着自己不甚了解的病情, 评判着自己一无所知的人体. 除却多任务并行处理与短暂的注意力,持续不断的在线状态也对我们的思维方式产生了影响。为了处理随处而来的大量数据,我们在思考时更倾向于网状思维而非线性思维。 尼克-比尔顿(I live in ...
A good picture is drawn, but the devil is in the details.
评分A good picture is drawn, but the devil is in the details.
评分每个标题都很兴奋。不知是老头起的还是编辑改的。
评分书很好 Mass medicine vs. personalized medicine 这是一场早晚要到来的革命 技术是它的必要条件 但绝非充分条件 我想大概要等到生在长在网络时代的人们掌握话语权 革命才能成功
评分当作一本case study的书看了,至于未来真的怎么走,医疗的东西有太多regulatory的东西在里头,不仅仅是极客或者自由市场能够左右的
