Deep medicine ...  Navigating the intersection of technology, cognition and ethics in the digital age of medicine

Abstract

The digital expansion in medicine and healthcare has been immense and extremely valuable. The biggest concern in the face of this inevitable growth is how we manage to keep contact with our patients and preserve the human touch so essential in healing. Digital healthcare should not be about technology replacing clinicians. Instead, it should be about augmenting and supplementing healthcare providers to improve the ways in which we deliver personalised healthcare. It is vital that we focus on how we can revitalise the patient-clinician relationship in this digital age.
