Exactly- new tool for early identification of disease is critical for prevention. This is true and cancer and it is also true and Alzheimer’s disease.
The question is:
1)what are the new technologies that can help with early disease identification
2) How can early ID enable prevention (Lifestyle ) or treatment (eg Pharmacological+)
The question is can new tools and technologies play a pivotal role here in prevention . Can it make it faster, easier and better.
As a simple for instance can one use an App and a camera to take a picture of a mole/blotch along with questions, coupled with a deep learning cloud algorithm, to Identify very easily people at high risk of skin cancer. (I’m not doing this and maybe it has already been done but just giving an example).
Use technologies such as digital healthcare and deep learning to change the Heath landscape, Making it easier and more accessible to all people.
Team goals should be highly targeted so that impact can be measured and evaluated.
I think an interesting question that Nick raises is who is motivated for preventive care. In the case above how is billing handled? Is this through government support or is it through the private healthcare provider, Etc. I am curious to hear peoples thoughts here.
