Transforming Health Care Through Digital Revolutions

Abstract
Healthcare in the 21st century will be transformed by various digital revolutions. Of particular importance will be four revolutions: 1) Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML); 2) Omics; 3) Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality (VR/AR); and the 4) Internet. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is concerned with the development of computer programs that emulate the intelligence of humans, i.e., AI is deeply concerned with the understanding of human problem-solving strategies and incorporating (or simulating) these strategies into computer programs. The “Omics” paradigm can be viewed as the study of a domain in a massive scale, at different levels of abstraction, in an integrative manner. VR and AR integrate the physical and virtual worlds and provide an immersive experience for the human. The Internet, which has spanned several networks in a wide variety of domains, is having a significant impact on every aspect of our lives. The P9 medicine concept -- personalized, predictive, preventive, participatory, pervasive, precise, privacy-preserving, protective, and priced reasonably – forms the basis for a digital health framework. In this talk, I will discuss the P9 concept and its manifestation in the various digital revolutions, with a plan for an implementation strategy for digital wellness, which can be viewed as the use of information technology for ensuring robust physical and mental health.
