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."

He's right that phys.org and its related cretins are clickbait garbage, though.

Who actually reads the article though? I just read the headline and then proceed to shitpost in the comment section.

Which limits the flame potential cuz that would be the end of that. If the articles actually have some bit of substance, somebody would soon enough go and read the thing (sorry fools that they are), and come back and rant "that's not what it's about, you morons", and begins the next stage of multi-way gang-bang of flame trail - so much more satisfying.
