Big thanks Dr. ERIC TOPOL for this awesome presentation
An Indian Pharma Professional, Fan of yours and believes Ayurved - and Allopathy too !!!
Thank you for the great lecture Dr Topol. You've seemed to say that as "medicine" progresses (finally) so that the patients can and do have access to their own data which THEY pay for and which is important for THEIR health -- and that in the future the doctors won't have offices and telemedicine will be the route by which patients get their "care." However I am wondering what will happen to the patient-doctor relationship which IMHO is the essence of medicine.

Here's the guy that doesn't want people taking certain medications that could be repurposed during this pandemic. So much for individualized medicine, or right to try.
yeah, this data will never be leaked, hacked or misused.... /sarc
this guy must be a sociopath to think technocracy is a good thing
exactly. this guy is a scam artist of the highest magnitude.
Not wanting to repurpose medication and providing patient-centered healthcare can be very different. By actually repurposing medication - you are finding a new way to use a medication that would suit a patient with a completely different disease, presentation, symptoms than what it is typically used for. By repurposing medication, one is hoping this medication is actually more expansive and could be applied to people of different backgrounds. In which case, one could argue that repurposing medication could help a patient get rid of their illness when nothing else seemed to work - patient-centered care would be the only way for a physician to know that this patient in particular had ran out of all other options to heal from their illness. Dr. Topool never stated that everyone should have a completely different treatment, rather he was expressing patient-centered care as a form of non maleficence. That patient-centered care may be tedious and expensive but it is what is best for the patient to the point that it may take longer to understand the patient as a whole - the risk of taking a bit more time to help a patient in need of emergent help, could actually benefit the patient down the road when we stop to think just exactly would work best. When Dr. Topool was expressing that he was in the 2-3% of all people who would actually end up getting athrofibrosis, he realized his doctor forgot a very important past medical history - that his frozen shoulder should have given indication that he was predisposed to fibrosis. If he wasn't seen or marked down for his other fibrosis, it may have never surfaced that he as a patient suffered from a very rare disease.
