The Author


​From wearable sensors, to improved point-of-care diagnostics, telemedicine, artificial intelligence and robotics, there are a great and growing number of breakthroughs in biomedical technology which are set to fundamentally change the way that patients interact with their healthcare providers.

In The Patient as CEO, Robin Farmanfarmaian writes about her experience as a chronic disease patient with 43 hospitalizations and 6 major surgeries.
​
She then dives into the various exponential technologies disrupting medicine, putting patients in control of their own healthcare. By simplifying and explaining technology, including sensors, AI, robotics, 3D printing, VR, drones, networks, data, cloud and computer systems, Robin provides an easy to understand roadmap into the future of medicine and patient empowerment for patients, doctors, entrepreneurs, corporations, and healthcare professionals.

"Robin Farmanfarmaian has written 
an excellent book to help guide patients 
​through this emerging world of healthcare."
