| Summary |
Deciphers the intersecting megatrends of aging, consumerism, and the Internet, leading those paths to a single common destination--the home. By focusing on the home, the "ethical playing field" in health care is leveled--new information technology can be made available to all in equal doses, connecting family members to each other and to their caregivers through the use of new decision-making and planning tools that allow patients to get ahead of the "disease curve." |
