Healthcare is transitioning from human touch of doctors, nurses and allied health professionals to devices and now information technology. In today’s world, healthcare is buzzing with new domain of Artificial Intelligence (AI) or should it be called assisted intelligence, machine learning, big data, block chain, Internet of Things (IoT), connected healthcare, mHealth, eHealth, cybersecurity and many more. These terminologies are being used by many without knowing its definition,use and limitation. It is creating a new community of providers. All this is good as long as we are not servient to technology and we control it for the benefit of providers and patients. Even medical personnel these days want to diagnose without touching the patients, without any concern for evidence-based medicine,human touch and compassion. Technology has made big in-roads in healthcare,but should it dispense health professionals as few think.
