Reviews
William R. Brody, M.D., Ph.D., President, The Salk Institute for Biological Studies " The Creative Destruction of Medicine  is an engaging look into how the discoveries in genetics and biology will change the landscape of medicine. Along the way, Dr. Topol provides a fascinating compendium of stories about the shortcomings of medicine as it is currently practiced and how the revolutionary discoveries coming since the first sequencing of the human genome a decade ago will shape the delivery of healthcare in the 21st century." Paul E. Jacobs, Ph.D., Chairman and CEO, Qualcomm Incorporated "Dr. Topol believes that medicine, catalyzed by extraordinary innovation that exploits digital information, is about to go through its biggest shakeup in history. His newest book calls for a 'jailbreak' from the ideas of the past. In the next phase of medicine, powerful digital tools including mobile sensors and advanced processors will transform our understanding of the individual, enabling creative 'mash-ups' of data that will spark entirely new discoveries and spawn ultra-personalized health and fitness solutions. And with over 5.7 billion mobile connections worldwide, the mobile technology platform will have a major impact on that vision-leading to what Dr. Topol describes as nothing less than a 'reboot' of the health care system. Qualcomm, and its partners all around the world, are working to bring wireless innovations to market that will contribute to the solution. And we share Dr. Topol's view that individual consumers have the opportunity, and the power, to increase the pace of the titanic change that's coming."   John Martin, Chairman and CEO, Gilead Sciences "Eric Topol offers a new and intriguing perspective on how the intersections of medicine and technology could further transform the delivery of healthcare and the role of a patient. He advocates for a future world of medicine where informed consumers are in the driver seat and control their own healthcare based on genomic information and real-time data obtained through nanosensors and wireless technology."   Eric Silfen, M.D., Senior Vice-President and Chief Medical Officer, Philips Healthcare "In an upbeat, comprehensive volume, Dr. Topol has woven the prevailing technological undercurrents of the post-PC world-its power of many; its Gucci of gadgets; its cloud ecosystem; its 'Arab Spring' of apps; and its ubiquitous, calm computing-with the disruptive innovations of biomedicine, to create a compelling account of how this  bio-digital  transformation will hasten personalization of the highest quality of medical care."   Greg Lucier, CEO, Life Technologies "Dr. Topol is the top thought leader in medicine today, with exceptional vision for how its future can be rebooted. This book will create and catalyze a movement for the individualization and democratization of medicine-and undoubtedly promote better health care"   Dean Ornish, M.D. , Founder and President, Preventive Medicine Research Institute, and author of  The Spectrum "Eric Topol is the perfect author for this book. He has a unique understanding of both genomics and wireless medicine and has a remarkable track record as a charismatic pioneer, visionary, and change agent in medicine. I'm sure this book will reach a very large number of people with information that can both empower and help transform their lives for the better."

Synopsis
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., What if your cell phone could detect cancer cells circulating in your blood or warn you of an imminent heart attack?

This book shows us the stakes--and how to win them., While we now use our iPhones and Blackberries to send email and surf the Web, soon we could be using them to check our vital signs. In this title, the author argues that radical innovation and a true democratization of medical care are within reach, but only if we consumers demand it., While we now use our iPhones and Blackberries to send email and surf the Web, soon we could be using them to check our vital signs. The technology already exists for us to 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 "digitize" humans - capturing all the relevant data from each individual to enable precision therapy, prevent major side effects of medications, and ultimately prevent many diseases from ever occurring. The world is awash with medical innovation - and yet much of it remains unavailable 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 by agitating for access to our medical data and becoming early adopters of practices such as genomic sequencing. This book shows us how.
