The doctor-patient relationship--the heart of medicine--is broken: doctors are too distracted and overwhelmed to truly connect with their patients, and medical errors and misdiagnoses abound. In Deep Medicine , leading physician Eric Topol reveals how artificial intelligence can help. AI has the potential to transform everything doctors do, from notetaking and medical scans to diagnosis and treatment, greatly cutting down the cost of medicine and reducing human mortality. By freeing physicians from the tasks that interfere with human connection, AI will create space for the real healing that takes place between a doctor who can listen and a patient who needs to be heard. Innovative, provocative, and hopeful, Deep Medicine shows us how the awesome power of AI can make medicine better, for all the humans involved.

Here, he extends those themes even further and posits that AI, correctly applied, will be transformative to healthcare delivery. That is not necessarily a novel prediction. Numerous authors have highlighted the increasing role of machine-learning/AI in healthcare (and more than a few tech companies have hyped it). Topol acknowledges all that enthusiasm, and using a short set of examples hihglight the value of AI in the first chapter itself. The rest of the book is a systematic expansion of where Topol sees the biggest opportunities in AI are - to the extent he calls it the next industrial revolution. Topol does an excellent job in differentiating clinicians as those that work with and without patterns - these two chapters highlighting the complexities and skill set required to master a cognitive, integrative process is perhaps the most interesting part of the book. These highlight the key assumptions AI developers should (and shouldn't) make while designing their systems. The discussions on how health systems are approaching AI and ML is interesting, but a reader familiar with the academic literature may brush it off as old news; however, Topol manages to convey the key insights and implications that can be extrapolated to other applications. He also provides an interesting take on the role of AI in nutrition and mental health and then becomes very generous with imagination in his discussion on virtual medical assistant. Imaginative, informative, and inspiring - but Topol, almost always ignores the question of "who will pay for it" that has dogged the field of mHealth etc for a while. A reader would have benefited from his expanded views on this issue as well. Overall, an excellent read for anyone remotely interested in healthcare or technology and a wonderful thought-starter for any start-up. Review: The future is coming faster than we think - Eric Tool has created another great book. Building on the foundation of the Creative Destruction of Medicine, a book he wrote in 2012 related to the digital revolution in medicine, Deep Medicine shares the rapid progress that has been made, particularly in the last few years in AI technology throughout medicine and science. It is a book rich with insite and information. Having read Deep Medicine twice (rereading Creative Destruction in between) it becomes clear that AI is rapidly becoming a compelling force in the healthcare world more than likely faster than the slow moving medical and biomedical research communities can deal with the change. Because it so successfully brings together the patterns of change that AI is driving, Deep Medicine will be incredibly important in helping us to understand the impact of AI and therefore allow a shaping of the future where we can gain maximum benefit as this technology rapidly evolves. Every page contains gems of information and clues to creating a better future. I know of no deeper thinker on how technology is shaping the future of healthcare and biomedical research (which is the future of healthcare and biomedical research) than Eric, a great physician, scientist, technologist and communicator. If you have anything to do with shaping the healthcare and research world Deep Medicine will change you perspective in a very positive manner. ## Features - Book: deep medicine: how artificial intelligence can make healthcare human again - Language: english - Binding: hardcover ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #38,477 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4 in Biotechnology (Books) #12 in Medical Informatics (Books) #102 in Artificial Intelligence & Semantics | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 910 Reviews | ## Images ![Deep Medicine - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712eBjZWS9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ".a marathon without a finish line." realistic assessment; (rosy) vision; silence on costs *by J***R on March 12, 2019* In a very insightful book, Topol, builds on the key themes from his previous works - In "Creative Destruction..", he had highlighted the digitizing of all information pertaining to our health and in "Patient Will See..", he had provided a roadmap for new service models that are truly patient-centric.

If you have anything to do with shaping the healthcare and research world Deep Medicine will change you perspective in a very positive manner. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fascinating glimpse into the future of medicine, but sometimes is a bit too far-reaching ... *by D***R on March 19, 2019* The first time I encountered anything by Eric Topol was when I read his last book [[ASIN:9780465040025 The Patient will See You Now]]. I’ve always had an interest in the history of medicine, particularly that of the nineteenth century. It was during that particular time that, despite the quackery of some men and women of medicine, great advances were made. We’re yet again at a juncture in time where we are once again moving forward at a rapid rate. This is a time where the past and the future are melding, where we are finding best practices in a highly technological age. I should say attempting to find the best practices as some people are finding it difficult to move into this new world, miring themselves in the past. Topol is what I’d dub a futuristic author, one who envisions a future in medicine, a visionary not unlike some of his nineteenth century predecessors. If you heard Dr. Topol on NPR, you probably got a glimpse as to what he is attempting to do in this book. He wants to introduce us to the future of medicine, the way AI (artificial intelligence) and technology can help us move into that future. If you listened long enough, you may have heard a frustrated physician express his views. Topol also, once again, recounts the tale of the medical mystery of “Robert,” and how his misdiagnosis “represents everything wrong with medicine today.” Medicine, as it has been practiced and is being practiced, failed not only Robert, but Topol himself. Add the rest of us as far as he’s concerned. He feels this book, as far as futuristic medicine goes, is the “most far-reaching one.” Topol begins by explaining the three-fold components of the deep medicine model. He quickly shifts into what he calls “shallow medicine,” the medicine he assumes most physicians now practice. According to Topol, in part, this results in “extraordinary waste, suboptimal outcomes, and unnecessary harm.” I feel he is not giving his peers credit for what I see as an incredible shift toward the use of AI and high-tech practices in medicine. For example, the physicians and specialists I see are in the trenches, already utilizing deep medicine. Had they not been, I would have long been in the bone yard pushing up daisies. However, I do love Topol’s remarkable compilation of studies, discussions on the positive impact AI tools can have in today’s medicine, the importance of patient advocacy, etc. For those who love to read about science and medicine (I do), this is a fabulous resource. My only quibble with Dr. Topol are a few sweeping opinion-based views. For example, when he talks about shallow medical practice that leads to “plenty of misdiagnoses and unnecessary procedures,” he takes a stab at the new blood pressure guidelines outlined by the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology in 2017. Topol goes on to say that this is “leading to the diagnosis of more than 30 million more Americans with hypertension despite the lact of any solid evidence to back up this guideline.” This, according to Topol, “was misdiagnosis at an epidemic scale.” This statement is rather irresponsible at best considering the guidelines were changed in 2017 for good reason. The study, which Topol doesn’t mention, was the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT). Check it out if you will. This book is quite readable, fun actually, but make sure you consult with your doctor before tossing out your meds. I for one am seeing physicians practicing deep medicine and am not finding those doctors Topol claims can be overconfident, condescending, arrogant, or simply not caring. I would suggest a bit of due diligence and a bit of extra research as well as a trip to your physician before making any lifestyle changes one may read about in this book. The book has an excellent index, source notes, and numerous charts and graphs for reference. ## Frequently Bought Together - Deep Medicine: How Artificial Intelligence Can Make Healthcare Human Again - The AI Revolution in Medicine: GPT-4 and Beyond - Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare: AI, Machine Learning, and Deep and Intelligent Medicine Simplified for Everyone --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/74806402-deep-medicine](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/74806402-deep-medicine) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
