Sum-up
還是發(fā)現(xiàn)這篇文章的邏輯導(dǎo)圖有點難整(也許對我來說都很難整),后來看了安妮的導(dǎo)圖覺得真心比不過她的修為啊船逮。之后又花了挺久做修改(以后也該像鯨魚同學(xué)一樣把before和after都發(fā)出來)顾腊。覺得難點在于雖然文章將數(shù)字醫(yī)療價值鏈粗略分為三類集團(tuán),但有些角色會兼具兩類集團(tuán)的成員挖胃,例如醫(yī)院既是traditional innovator又是incumbent player杂靶,所以數(shù)字醫(yī)療帶來的影響是兩方面的,其一是提高了醫(yī)院的效率酱鸭,其二則是降低了病人的就診率吗垮。但我認(rèn)為數(shù)字醫(yī)療肯定是弊大于利的。有人也許認(rèn)為量化生活讓現(xiàn)代人過得太繁瑣凹髓,為啥需要對自己了解得那么多呢烁登,以前沒有智能手環(huán)、體脂儀蔚舀、心率計饵沧,不也過得好好么。但本文也提醒了我們這樣的變化給我們健康和醫(yī)療帶來了多么深遠(yuǎn)的影響赌躺,治療糖尿病的最好辦法就是讓人們不患上糖尿病~~
