Millennials and younger generations expect to use their own technologies and biological data to help doctors deliver more personal care.
Caring for a rapidly ageing population is challenging. Experts working to revitalize healthcare for the 21 century are tackling this challenge by shifting from a one-size-fits-all to a more personalized healthcare approach, one that is heavily influenced by how young people use technology.
To combat skyrocketing healthcare costs for an American population of 326 million people spanning six generations, experts are turning to bioscience and new technologies as well as to young, tech-savvy digital natives who are already nudging healthcare into the Internet age.
"We're already seeing that millennials and younger generations won't be the same kinds of patients as their parents," said Eric Dishman, an Intel Fellow and general manager of Intel's Health and Life Sciences.
"These 18-to-34 year olds already expect to have data and tools to help them manage their health just like they do for everything else in their lives."

Can we please stop this meme?
Good luck, its been over 40 years and we still can't kill (any noun)-gate for any form of government corruption.
Can we end Betteridge style titles where questions with an obvious answer of no are asked?
I am a little annoyed that my generation didn't get the "digital native" idiotic name, because we grew up in a world of home computers and BBSes and our september turned into the world's eternal september.

It's even used in cases where the government isn't even involved.
