Unthinkingable 10 Years Ago…

There’s this really awesome post over on the mHealth Insight blog that looks at what mHealth will make what’s unthinkable now a reality in the future. I love the concept and encourage those of you who read this to participate in the thinking exercise.

Here were a few they offered that caught my eye:
“10 years ago it was unthinkable that we would be making the majority of our incomes from something that wasn’t the office visit” -Family GP

“10 years ago it was unthinkable that when our health declined we’d learn about it first from our mobile phones” Patient

I’d add a few:
“10 years ago it was unthinkable that a video visit led to a prescription drug being automatically delivered to my house by drone within the hour.”

“10 year ago it was unthinkable that heart attacks wouldn’t exist because the risks for it were all determined well before they happened.”

What a powerful concept!
