Don't know why I don't read about stuff like this in my area. Time to write to the county.

Due to the increasing connectivity among patients, medical professionals and even devices, two transitions will determine the year of 2014: from patient to person and from hospital to home. The whole healthcare experience must be redesigned in order to meet the expectations of today’s e-patients because they have to be in the center of delivering healthcare. The data, the devices and information required to give good care are mostly available but these elements are not always optimally connected. If policy makers realize the potential in connectivity, and innovation in digital health keeps on leading to key changes in healthcare, we are going to face an amazing year. 

Bertalan Mesko, MD, PhD, Clinician and Health Futurist adds his thoughts on John Nosta's piece on Digital Health for Forbes. I am so frustrated when I ask my doctors about possibilities I've heard about and I meet with lack of awareness or distrust from them. Nosta writes that he thought 2013 was going to be "the year of digital health." John Sculley is cited in this piece with "I predict that within 5 years telehealth services in the cloud will be as normal to most Americans as online banking is today." Let's hope it happens that quickly.
