Stories Behind Digital Health

An Interview Book by The Medical Futurist

About the Book

What are the most interesting stories behind digital health innovations? How do medical communities and patients receive these new technologies? How should policy-makers react to make the situation of health technology companies better?

In this interview book we wanted to get a clearer picture how industry players themselves see the trends as well as the future of their own sector, where do they see the potential to develop or what are the challenges and risks associated with their innovative work. 

More than 30 stories behind various innovations related to smartphone apps, health sensors and trackers, artificial intelligence, robotics, VR/AR, 3D printing and diagnostic tools in precision medicine.
