How to Harness the Power of Mobile Medicine to Save Money and Live Better
Boston, October 4, 2022 ― As smartphones get smarter and out-of-pocket healthcare costs continue to rise, the world of medical apps has exploded, explains biotech expert Harry Glorikian. And today, there are more than 350,000 different healthcare apps to choose from.
“If you could own an app that could diagnose you with the same accuracy as your primary care provider, you’d have the virtual equivalent of an on-call physician with you at all times who could help streamline your care in real life,” Glorikian wrote in his new book, The Future You: How Artificial Intelligence (AI) Can Help You Get Healthier, Stress Less, and Live Longer.
An AI-enabled app, when combined with access to a telehealth provider, can help consumers distinguish between something that requires an office visit, a wait-and-see approach, or a trip to an urgent care facility or emergency room, he adds.
In The Future You, Glorikian helps readers understand how to use the power of technology (that they very likely already have) to create personalized healthcare experiences.
“The scenarios I’m going to describe in this book don’t just apply to someone with a rare condition or who is seriously ill,” he wrote in his book’s introduction. “These are examples of how everyone can take advantage of AI and data analytics to stay healthy, get diagnosed more quickly, and sometimes, save on healthcare costs.”
In The Future You, readers will discover
- The ways in which technology and AI are already impacting healthcare and what new technologies are on the horizon
- The new healthcare business paradigm and how to navigate it
- How AI is helping doctors diagnose different cancers more precisely
- How everyday people have used smartphone and smartwatch technology to reach their health and fitness goals — and sometimes to survive a health crisis
- How to use and leverage AI data to improve health in monumental ways
- How to use available tech to simplify healthcare scenarios such as doctor visits, managing one’s own health records, coping with chronic disease, broadening awarenessabout a specific genetic profile and much more
- How scientists around the world used AI to develop COVID vaccines and how AI will help scientists predict future outbreaks more rapidly
- And much, much more
Glorikian’s overarching message is clear: There’s quite literally nothing about health and wellness that won’t be utterly transformed by the power of AI. The Future You will show readers what's coming — and what is already here.
“I want readers to feel inspired to see how they can use the technology they already have to make changes in their lives,” Glorikian said. “Maybe it's as simple as using your smartphone to count your daily steps. Or maybe it's downloading a meal-tracking app or doing a virtual reality workout. This book can be a roadmap to personalized health and wellness for everyone.”
