Abstract:
Digital transformation in medicine refers to the implementation of information technology-driven developments in the healthcare system and their impact on the way we teach, share, and practice medicine. We would like to provide an overview of current developments and opportunities but also of the risks of digital transformation in medicine. Therefore, we examine the possibilities wearables and digital biomarkers provide for early detection and monitoring of diseases and discuss the potential of artificial intelligence applications in medicine. Furthermore, we outline new opportunities offered by telemedicine applications and digital therapeutics, discuss the aspects of social media in healthcare, and provide an outlook on "Health 4.0."
