Today we can do everything with apps :pay bills ,order food and shop for anything .Mobile technology means we can hold the world in our hands ,However ,when it comes to technology and health care ,opportunities and challenges come together .
Let's start with the ways to get health care .Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology to see the doctor online and get a diagnosis and instructions without leaving home.
In addition ,there are many patient websites .These allow for kinds of interactions about our health needs without involving the medical team .Setting a date with doctors and reading lab results are readily achieved by technology .
A whole new age of medical care seems likely(可能的) to come in the future .But every coin has two sides .What might be on the other side of techno-health care ?
Firstly ,we should think about the health care experience as a whole .A usual visit to a doctor begins with a receptionist(接待员) who can see and tell how a patient is doing ,This may influence the treatment effect .It's unlikely that a patient website will have such intuition.
Next ,sharing the details of one's life requires trust ,which takes time to build .This is certainly true in health care ,where some of life's best and worst moments involve doctors .The human touch should not be undervalued and is unlikely to be there over the smartphone .
Lastly ,test results can be difficult to understand .When someone without medical degree sees a flagged result with no explanation on the website ,there's room for all kinds of stories to form in their minds-and also great worry .
So how does medicine adapt(适应) to the new technology age ? Very talented companies are working on it There is medical equipment (设备)that can be used at home to send necessary signs and heart sounds through telemedicine . It seems likely that some companies will find a way to explain test results .
But what it will not achieve is the warmth of human interaction and touch .Patients often need someone to listen to - and care about-their journey story ,which will never be realized through a human-less technology .Technology should be a tool ,but depending on it totally will most certainly have unexpected effects .Let's not allow our humanity to be one of them.
