Five Reasons Why Mobile Health Apps Will Never Replace Doctors
Posted on June 14, 2012 by davidleescher
A recent post in the DailyDealMedia, caught my attention. It was titled “Uprising in Mobile Health Care: Could Medical Apps Replace Doctors?” The theme of technology versus humanistic aspects of medicine has been the subject of debate for many decades, obviously predating the advent of medical apps. I find it interesting that the introduction of the referenced PwC study highlights the fact that “Solutions, not technology, are the key to success.” Another piece on this subject in The Atlantic addressed what I believe is the core issue “Should (most) doctors become obsolete — or less provocatively, does the practice of medicine need to change? Here, the answer must be yes.” I will give my own reasons why I think the question of apps replacing doctors is neither feasible nor desired.
1. The adoption of mHealth apps will never reach 100%.
2. Mobile health apps were never designed to replace doctors.
3. Mobile health apps provide data, not care.
4. All patients are not the same.
5. Personalized medicine does not imply the patient becomes the doctor.
