Bastyr University is pleased to continue our sponsorship of the "Future of Health" lectures, a series of talks with notable experts exploring a wide range of emerging health issues from global policy to personal health. The following is the next lecture in the series:
Health care stands at a new frontier. And, as medicine becomes more personalized, we patients will find ourselves pioneering it as we make more of our own health care decisions. Thomas Goetz, executive editor of Wired magazine and author of The Decision Tree, proposes that new decision-making tools, steeped in statistics, prediction and the power of collective experience, will both inform us and guide us in the quest for better health care.
