Dr. Eric Topol, Director of the Scripps Translational Science Institute

This week, hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter speak with cardiologist, genomics and telemedicine expert Dr. Eric Topol, Director of the Scripps Translational Science Institute. They discuss his latest book, The Patient Will See You Now: The Future of Medicine Is In Your Hands, in which he predicts the “medicalization of the smart phone” is poised to truly democratize medicine by putting the power of diagnostics and monitoring in the patient’s own hands.
