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.
“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...
评分原作内容涵盖面很广,作者作为一个医学商业化的资深人士,对传统临床医学运作模式和新兴科技的切入点有很深刻独到的理解,粗览本书,一幅医学前沿的蓝图跃然纸上。但是不得不说的是,翻译实在太烂了,很多地方连语法结构都没改,直接照着字面翻译下来,使得原书的质量大打折扣。
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...
A good picture is drawn, but the devil is in the details.
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

评分每个标题都很兴奋。不知是老头起的还是编辑改的。
