The Future of Health is... in the hands of the patient

For a fascinating presentation on trends in health and technology - see "The Future of health" from PSFK.  The novelty and innovation is inspiring. 

The thing that strikes me is the amount of devolution to the user - all of those smart, net enabled home use devices, diagnostics and Smart phone apps. The escape of technology from hospitals and professional practices into the homes and hands of the user has always been a challenge for regulators (let alone to the medical profession).  This presentation really spells out just how widespread this trend has become.    Fascinating stuff.  Thanks to Peter Lewis of Hydrix for sending this to me.
