CLEVELAND – Every year at the Cleveland Clinic Medical Innovation Summit, a highly anticipated event is the unveiling of the Top 10 list of the technologies that will come to the market and change patient care. This year was no different, with pharmacogenomic testing, which uses a patient's genetic makeup to predict an individual's metabolism of drugs, topping the list, with an eye toward combating the opioid crisis.
CLEVELAND – How are telemedicine and wearable technologies changing health care and how physicians see patients? That question was the focus of a panel that examined how such emerging technology can play a role in improving primary care. The panel took place during the Cleveland Clinic's 2018 Medical Innovation Summit and was part of the a series of discussions on how technologies, including digital health, are disrupting health care.
