Eric Topol Talks at Google
Dr. Eric Topol visits Google to talk about his book: The Creative Destruction of Medicine: How the Digital Revolution Will Create Better Health Care:
Until very recently, if you were to ask most doctors, they would tell you there were only two kinds of medicine: the quack kind, and the evidence-based kind. The former is baseless, and the latter based on the best information human effort could buy, with carefully controlled double-blind trials, hundreds of patients, and clear indicators of success.
I really enjoyed listening to http://scienceroll.com/2012/03/22/the-social-media-course-revolution-in-medical-education-now/#comment-101174 speak. The forum is a great way for technology savvy people and people seeking a healthy lifestyle or advice to gain knowledge. What this type of innovation can do for doctors and scientist is still unfounded and it is great to see that Google is involved.
