I especially like that they don't only focus on diseases and their diagnosis but also on the prevention of diseases.
It is like don't give me fish teach me how to fish.
It is not easy to recover from a serious illness even if it has a cure. The best way is the preventing of it. So they are taking the high road.
People can get hurt in that recovery phase also, think about the chemo treatments in some diseases. You literally poison your body to kill some dirty cells, this process is a hard process and suffering in that times very annoying. In the end maybe you are cured but tired at all sides(mentally physically)
so preventing diseases is long road but definitely the correct one.
Yes, that's what i am trying to say. The best way not to get any disease in the first place.
There are such diseases that can't be prevented, genetic for example. A person might have a predisposition to a certain disease because of something. For those cases it's especially important to have all your medical history stored in one place, so you doctors prescribe you a treatment in a fast and efficient manner.
As the technology and accuracy of diagnosis through Ehealth improves, we might even see a cases where a doctors diagnosis is not needed for certain groupings of symptoms
yes, maybe for some groups of mild diseases, slight with obvious symptoms the second verification by the doctor will not be necessary anymore
Still the main advantage of this platform will be giving a lead to doctors to diagnose those diseases(sometimes even serious) that are not obvious to spot or they could be dismissed as something else you should not worry about
Doctors are wrong or not completely informed in many cases, they are not supercomputors to follow scientific research 24/7, and they suffer themselves from uncertainties. Also, the system tends to screw the prescriptions. For example, every doctor would prescribe anti-cancer drugs from big pharma for a cancer patients, but very few would prescribe flaxseed for breast cancer patients, for example, despite the fact that there is more or less good data on improved survivorship in such cases
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24013641 . Who would promote flaxseed to the doctors and patients to the same level as patented medicines?
