Medicine itself is sick. We hardly understand any disease and therefore need to chronically treat symptoms but not the causes. Consequently, drugs and other therapies help only very few patients; yet we are pumping more and more money into our healthcare system without any added value and neglect prevention. Thus, the internationally renowned physician scientist, Harald H.H.W. Schmidt, MD, PhD, PharmD, professor at Maastricht University, predicts the end of medicine as we know it. On a positive note, digitization will radically change healthcare and lead to one of the greatest socioeconomic revolutions of mankind. He is one of the pioneers of "systems medicine", a complete redefinition of what we call a "disease", how we organize medicine and how we use Big Data to heal rather than treat, and to prevent rather than cure. In this book the author first proves the deep crisis of medicine, and then also describes how medicine will become more precise, more preventive, safer and, surprisingly, more affordable.
