Medicine of Tomorrow / Medicine of Future
A Preventive-Molecule, Genetics-Guided, AI-Built Medical Paradigm
From the essay
The medical world of today is focused almost completely on treating diseases while paying only lip service to prevention. This statement is intentionally strong because the present medical system is itself strong in the wrong place. It is brilliant after catastrophe. It is enormously sophisticated after pathology declares itself. It can replace joints, open arteries, transplant organs, image tumors, deliver biologic drugs, and maintain life in intensive care. But its central economic and professional center of gravity still appears after disease is already present. Being on the cynical side, and accepting the standard economic model of medicine as a business, the more diseases and medical problems we have, the higher is the cash flow into the field of medicine.
