Technologies for Preventative Healthcare

 
 
Data analytics

So now technology is to be used to predict frailty. No thought is given to treating the sick, just making predictions. This is similar to hunting for the 1% of 65 year-olds with dementia - no cure, just find them.

All the better, the researchers believe, to manage the population who might require medical assistance some time in the future. How about getting them to talk about where they would prefer to die or offering them `assisted dying` instead?

It`s where prediction science is leading.
