The Future of Medicine
The future of medicine may have arrived, and it has its benefits — but it might also create an Orwellian, Big Brother culture.
All medical developments are meant to solve a problem. It is estimated that as often as 80% of the time, patients fail to use medication as directed for some diseases. According to The Atlantic, nonadherence (or noncompliance), in general, costs Americans between $100 billion to $289 billion a year. That has led to considerable research focusing on how to improve patients’ compliance.
