Don’t be fooled by the little old lady and the innocent robot that’s keeping her company and helping Grandma remember her medication.

That’s the hook of this story by Jennifer Hicks about Pillo health and Orbita’s healthcare companion robots:

Because the next stage, once Pillo health and Orbita achieve threshold market penetration& are acquired by Amazon/Google/Facebook et al will be:

This Healthcare companion robot that helps you remember your medication will then be the Healthcare companion robot that PRESCRIBES your medication.

And when there is a direct connection between patients and technology that is able to administer realtime 24/7 healthcare monitoring and provide relevant treatment from its associated global supply chain…how exactly are you as a Doctor still relevant in that scenario?

Seriously, how? A serious question worth taking a minute to answer right now.

In fact, it’s one that Doctors are answering in this survey that closes within the next 2 days. (Thursday 31st January 2019, 11.45p.m UTC-11)

Tech that’s comes through the backdoor of convenience ends up kicking the complacent out through the front door of progress.

Don’t be complacent!

Thoughts? 🙂
