This opinion piece focuses on the convergence of information technology (IT) in the form of personal monitors, especially smart phones and possibly also smart watches, individual genomic information and preventive healthcare and medicine. This may benefit each one of us not only individually but also society as a whole through iPH (individualized preventive healthcare). This shift driven by genomic and other technologies may well also change the relationship between patient and physician by empowering the former but giving him/her also much more individual responsibility.
这篇观点文章聚焦于以个人监测设备形式存在的信息技术(IT)的融合,尤其是智能手机,也可能包括智能手表、个人基因组信息以及预防性医疗保健和医学。通过个性化预防性医疗保健(iPH),这不仅可能使我们每个人受益,也可能使整个社会受益。由基因组和其他技术推动的这种转变很可能也会改变患者与医生之间的关系,赋予前者权力,但同时也给予他/她更多的个人责任。
