The Creative Destruction of Medicine

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.

读后感

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...  

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...  

刚开始以为是一本抱怨的赶时髦书——“大数据”，读完发现有效信息不少，翻译不错。 基因测序后，甚至连支架后出现血凝块的CYP2C19基因的相类性都知道（GWAS项目，Genome-wide association study），记得性感女星叫茱莉的，就是测基因知道自己有宫颈癌乳腺癌概率。 癌症基因组...  

作者确实挺厉害的，身为医生，却在开篇讲了很多互联网行业的发展，然后介绍了医疗领域里存在的一些问题。但是，人体是个十分复杂的系统，就像作者所言，要验证新药的效果，就十分困难。在这么复杂的生理环境里，想通过互联网来模拟，几乎不可能，可是作为分析，干扰条件太多，...

A good picture is drawn, but the devil is in the details.

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

每个标题都很兴奋。不知是老头起的还是编辑改的。
