This includes:Genomics, Wireless Sensors and Devices, Imaging, Health Information Systems, Internet , Social Networking, Mobile Connectivity and Bandwidth , Computing Power and the Data Universe. Moreover, sports, fitness, and wellness applications utilizing digital technologies are equally relevant, and could even be considered as preventive medicine. The key to it all is Consumers. Since its inception in 2009, the group has increased in scope to include the full digital transformation of consumer health, healthcare delivery, and medicine. The group’s raison d'être is both to capture the zeitgeist and catalyze what Dr. Topol describes as “the creative destruction of medicine”.
