Vinod Khosla Quotes

The only way to get health care abundance is to use technology.

We have artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, 3D-printing, robotics and nanotechnology that have changed the face of modern medicine. It is essential for Indian doctors to familiarise themselves with the latest developments to be able to control technology and not the other way around.

Think about the possibility: why is it that iPhones and iPads advance far faster than the health tools that are available to you to help take care of your family?

I think that the health care industry is so complex that it doesn't necessarily start with a single killer app. You go back to the early days of the personal computer - when I joined the industry, we really didn't know what the killer app was going to be.

Health care and education, in my view, are next up for fundamental software-based transformation.

The integration of exponentially growing technologies is beginning to empower the patient, enable the doctor, enhance wellness and begin to cure the well before they get sick.

One of the biggest challenges to medicine is the incorporation of information technology in our practices.

A lot of the diagnosis and monitoring functions will be done through little devices - smartphones - by the patient with computer assistance. So it's a real big change in the model of how we render healthcare.

Health care missed the PC and Internet revolutions, but it can't afford to miss the cloud and mobile revolution.

The digital world has been in a separate orbit from our medical cocoon, and it's time the boundaries be taken down.

Healthcare is becoming part of information technology.

There's a great deal of suspicion and misunderstanding about IT among practicing doctors. One hears things like, 'I don't want to be turned into a data entry clerk, and I don't want some machine between me and my patients.'

The digitization of human beings will make a parody out of 'doctor knows best.'

Nowhere is the power of the Internet for improving people's lives more evident than in health care.

Healthcare is an area that has the greatest potential to benefit from technology.

Genomics, Artificial Intelligence, and Deep Machine learning technologies are helping practitioners deliver better diagnosis and actually freeing up time for patient interaction.

Consider radiology. Technology is going to reduce the use of those machines because doctors aren't going to need to send patients two or three times for radiology. They're going to have access to what the previous specialist took. There's also going to be devices that are coming out that are much less costly.

In the future we might not prescribe drugs all the time - we might prescribe apps.

I think that people would like to, at all times, reject death and disease with technology.

Effective use of technology is important to deliver healthcare. By leveraging technology, you can bring down lack of access and cost of healthcare.

We're all essentially surgically connected to our smartphones, and we're still in the early stages of realizing their medical potential. But they should be a real threat to the medical profession.

Smartphones can relay patients' data to hospital computers in a continuous stream. Doctors can alter treatment regimens remotely, instead of making patients come in for a visit.

Healthcare has been the last major industry that hasn't been touched by technology in terms of productivity and consumer adoption in the way so many other industries have.

People who might normally have to travel hours to a distant city to see a cardiologist can now do so virtually, through Cisco technology, at their local hospital or health clinic. Clinicians use technology to share patient reports and diagnostic images and collaborate on cases.

I remain convinced of the compelling case for connected care.
