The result is diagnoses that are too late and outcomes that are far worse than our level of spending should deliver. In recent years, U.S. life expectancy has been declining.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003eFundamental to realizing better health, and a more effective health care system, is advancing the disruptive thinking that has spawned innovation in Silicon Valley and throughout the world.

You�ll see how tools from smartphone technology to genome sequencing to routine blood tests are helping avert illness and promote health. And you'll learn about the promising progress already underway in bringing greater precision to the process of predicting, preventing, and treating a range of conditions, including allergies, mental illness, preterm birth, cancer, stroke, and autism.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe book highlights how biomedical advances are dramatically improving our ability to treat and cure complex diseases, while emphasizing the need to devote more attention to social, behavioral, and environmental factors that are often the primary determinants of health.\u003c\/p\u003e    The authors explore thought-provoking topics including:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eThe unlikely role of Google Glass in treating autism\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow gene editing can advance precision in treating disease\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat medicine can learn from aviation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003clihow digital tools can contribute to health and innovation\u003e \u003c\/lihow\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\t \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDiscovering Precision Health\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e showcases entirely new ways of thinking about health and health care and can help empower us to lead healthier lives.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLLOYD MINOR, MD,\u003c\/b\u003e is the Carl and Elizabeth Naumann Dean of the Stanford University School of Medicine as well as a professor of otolaryngology–head and neck surgery and a professor of bioengineering and of neurobiology, by courtesy, at Stanford University. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMATTHEW REES\u003c\/b\u003e is the president of Geonomica, an editorial consulting firm in McLean, Virginia, and a senior fellow at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business.
