Book review: the creative destruction of medicine: how the digital revolution will create better health care

In The Creative Destruction of Medicine, geneticist and cardiologist Eric Topol introduces a radical new approach to medicine. By bringing the era of big data and personal technology to the clinic, laboratory, and hospital, doctors can see a full, continuously updated picture of each patient and treat each individually. Edward Larkin believes that although Topol’s vision may be somewhat premature, the book is a must-read for anyone interested in the relationship between technology of medicine.
