I saw the video, but it's too much tech-stuff. Let's face it: we're all supposed to practice EBM. These are tools, but they first have to prove that they're better and even more cost-effective. Nice toys, but I think it will take much longer. And saying that by 2016 stethoscopes won't be used anymore, sounds like somebody who is looking for fame, not reality. I was a little disappointed by the video... Let's talk less sci-fi and come back to earth. Then we can use IT to change / improve healthcare.
