2. Exponential Technology

In 10 years, 64MB became 64GB

Information technology is it progresses exponentially . . . 30 steps linearly gets you to 30. One, two, three, four, step 30 you’re at 30.

With exponential growth, it’s one, two, four, eight. Step 30, you’re at a billion.”

3. First Comes Digital

The key is patient-driven research

biggest gains will come in the shape of better treatments for difficultdiseases. He sees patients increasingly getting together online and sharingmedical data and treatment histories.

“The physician of thefuture won´t show upto work with a satcheland a stethoscope,but rather with a tabletor smartphone that fitsneatly into the pocketof her white coat”

4. Then Exponential

Exponential Medicine

Medicine’s new mantra is “the right drug for the right patient at theright time.” In other words, medical treatments are graduallyshifting from a “one size fits all” approach to a more personalizedone, so that patients can be matched to the best therapy basedon their genetic makeup and other predictive factors. Thisenables doctors to avoid prescribing a medication that is unlikelyto be effective or that might cause serious side effects in certainpatients.

Thus, although personalized medicine offers tremendouspotential for patients, regulators’ demands for vast clinicalstudies to demonstrate the safety of new drugs, along with theneed to develop the diagnostic (biomarker) tests to accompanythe drug and also a clinical algorithm to guide the use of thedrug/diagnostic combination, could impose huge developmentcosts that might never be recovered by the manufacturers
