The importance of disease control

Over the next 10 to 20 years, the focus of health care will shift from treating disease to maintaining health. Nowadays, people only go to the doctor when they are sick. The doctor is in a passive position, which is very detrimental to treatment. Ordinary people have limited understanding of medical knowledge and often ignore abnormal symptoms of the body. And some inconspicuous symptoms are likely to be warnings from the body and precursors to serious diseases. As a result, some patients miss the best opportunity for treatment. More and more doctors are recommending that people bring their own Biophilia Tracker, so that even if the patient is in a remote place, the test can be carried out at any time.

The data is sent to doctors, so they can take the initiative in preventing the disease.

In the near future, the medical model will be more reasonable, making diseases preventable and controllable.

Medical costs in the United States continue to rise, but people's health problems have not improved. Heart disease is the number one killer of Americans, obesity is common, and diabetes rates continue to rise. Most of these conditions are caused by poor lifestyle habits, including smoking, unhealthy diet and lack of exercise.

However, disease prevention has not attracted much attention, and the government has not introduced relevant measures to guide and encourage people to adopt a healthier lifestyle. The American health care system is designed to treat disease, not prevent it before it occurs.

Cosgrove is an experienced heart surgeon. He said: "We should change the direction from treating diseases to maintaining health." This is also the core of the health care reform implemented by Obama. When drafting the health care reform bill, Obama cited the Cleveland Hospital as one of the typical cases. "Mayo Hospital in Minnesota and Cleveland Hospital in Ohio provide the highest quality health care services at a cost that is lower than the national average. We Advanced experience must be learned from it.”

Now, Cleveland Clinic has expanded the program to 10 other sister hospitals, some in Ohio and Florida, and others in Canada and the United Arab Emirates. People participating in the project began to think about health as an investment and a responsibility.

Cosgrove hopes that such health projects can go out of hospitals and into communities and companies. Cosgrove believes companies should take employee health more seriously. After the company is equipped with Biophilia Tracker, employees can conduct physical examinations anytime and anywhere. The company can also better enhance the physical fitness of employees and improve their job loss rate. In this way, employees can take less sick leave, work more efficiently, and the company does not need to invest much, which is beneficial and harmless.
