A renowned cardiologist and Harvard professor spells out the future digital shift of medicine — and how it will impact the lives not only of patients and health care professionals but of all humans.
Future care is virtual care: sensor-aided, digitally enabled, and powered by predictive analytics. Like most facets of modern life, human organs, too, are being digitally monitored. Sensors are well on their way to helping us proactively capture the information needed to predict and prevent disease. Paired with the medical world’s growing emphasis on wellness and prevention, the digital revolution will help us effectively monitor and address the chronic diseases that have been the Achilles’ heel of the health care system to date. This large-scale transition is not only going to reshape the patient-physician relationship but also dramatically change how hospitals and the business of medicine operate.
Dr. Singh explores the upswell of virtual care, the evolving role of sensors, and the impact of artificial intelligence in medicine and health care through cutting-edge science, big idea projections, and patient stories. Using anecdotes from his own COVID-19 illness and medical practice, Dr. Singh shows that the success of the digital revolution in medicine is dependent on our ability to understand and adapt to this changing landscape.
Future Care provides fascinating insights into how health care can become sensible, affordable, and practical and why everyone needs to become a part of the solution. It is an important and timely contribution to the ongoing and increasingly urgent conversation about medicine, technology, and health care.

Review
"Future Care will have a significant impact on how medicine continues to evolve. It will serve as a terrific guide for patients, caregivers, and anyone interested in healthcare as it provides direction for the future." --from the foreword by Siddhartha Mukherjee
“With the increasing use of wearables, sensors, and artificial intelligence, the transformation of medicine has begun. In Future Care, cardiologist Jag Singh provides a superb, detailed, and prescient glimpse of our digital future.”—Sandeep Jauhar, New York Times bestselling author of My Father’s Brain: Life in the Shadow of Alzheimer’s
“Future Care resonates with my experience leading digital and information technology at Mass General Brigham, and is quite honestly a template for our digital health strategy. Dr. Singh shows that virtual care and digital health are not only the future of medicine, but can transform healthcare as we know it. He rightly highlights how digital capabilities can help move the practice of medicine from treatment to wellness and prevention, and most importantly, bring equity to healthcare.”--Jane Moran, Chief Information and Digital Officer, Mass General Brigham
“In Future Care, Dr. Singh reflects on the current state of American medicine through the lens of his own COVID experience. Although he has used data and technology in his own practice and research for decades, the pandemic opened his eyes to what might be possible not just in medicine but in true health care. The patient stories tells really capture your attention and illustrate how we might improve health for all. It’s a journey worth taking with him.”--Robert Harrington, M.D., Chair, Department of Medicine, Stanford University, and Past President of the American Heart Association
"Jag Singh is a world-class physician-scientist and innovator who brilliantly explores the cutting edge, and the emerging art of the possible. Future Care is a must-read for those who seek to understand and apply the massive potential to shift from a reactive sick-care world of intermittent data, to one of real-time, proactive, personalized, sensor-driven care anywhere.”--Daniel Kraft, M.D. Physician-Scientist, Founder of Digital.Health & NextMed Health, and Chair of the XPRIZE Pandemic & Health Alliance
“The future of medicine has already arrived—new healthcare technologies are already being implemented at your local hospital and doctor’s office. If you’re curious about AI, sensors, and telehealth, Future Care will take you on a fascinating journey. Dr. Singh lucidly explains the current state of healthcare, shows us where we are--or should be--headed, and makes it all come to life with cases and patient stories from his own practice. Future Care is an important contribution to our ongoing conversation about how to live better, healthier lives.”—Paul M. Grand, CEO, MedTech Innovator

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬 are creating an ideal confluence of innovations that can address many ailments in healthcare, but requires commitment from multiple stakeholders to make it a reality.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 “𝐍 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐧𝐞” 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡. A concept, where the patients are compared to their own period of health and not some derived average of the general population. This is possible only with continuous measurements over extended periods, and promises to provide truly personalized care.
𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬. The book uses examples of Apple Heart and Fitbit Heart studies that recruited, consented and managed patients remotely to conduct large scale trials. A major way technology can make trials less burdensome and potentially more equitable.
𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. It is refreshing to see a piece that takes a balanced view on AI and neither portrays it as a magical tool that can solve everything nor pushes AI-driven doomsday scenarios. A quote from the book: “There is no magic here. Just a good plan, hard work, with well-collected and well-annotated data”. I think this down to earth approach is the only way to make AI impactful in healthcare.
𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐲. The book discusses the importance of health equity multiple times. It doesn’t seem surprising that use of technology is likely to reduce disparities both in access to healthcare and clinical trials, as today there is less disparity in access to technology than access to healthcare itself.
The book keeps a personal touch throughout with a number of patient stories. What I found most interesting is that the author, Dr. Singh, used his own experiences as a patient, and as a caregiver to those close to him. This gently reminds the reader that while designing health products or policies, we are better off keeping in mind that our most critical interactions with the healthcare system will be in the role of a caregiver and/or a patient.
I highly recommend the book to those interested in the topic.

Dr. Singh goes into great depth explaining all of the major issues associated with the current Health Care system. He also shows how huge conglomerates such Big Pharma and Medical Insurance Companies along with major Hospitals have created the massive, extremely costly and inefficient Health Care System we have in the U.S. today; and that the current system is not patient-focused.
Dr. Singh also explains how the current system can and hopefully will change in a manner that puts the patient in charge of their Health Care and allow the patient to determine from whom, when, where and how they will receive their medical care, including from their own home.
Dr. Singh explains that future can only be achieved via the integration and expansion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as well as various medical wearable and other devices throughout the entire Health Care System. AI and many of these medical devices are still very much in their infancy but are expanding every day.
The book also provides a number of fascinating real-life examples which were extremely interesting.

I enjoyed reading this truly inspiring book that makes me hopeful for the future of Medicine and its practice. Beautifully written with many patient stories that made it easy for a non-medical person like me to relate to and understand. I would highly recommend this to any one interested in their health and how the future of care will look.
