There is no doubt that our healthcare systems need significant change. As patients and providers work together to navigate this changing world, leaders are emerging and delivering on new processes and systems poised to revolutionize medicine as we know it. The medical industry and doctors are excited about what the future holds for medicine. Internal Medicine physician Dr. Ari Bernstein, MD, has a unique vision to change healthcare for the better, inspired by the power of digital technology.
D​r. Bernstein believes that the power of healthcare should be placed directly into the patient's hands. "People have more power than they think when it comes to their health. As providers, we are there to promote wellbeing and not necessarily tell them what to do but give them options," says Dr. Bernstein. "There is so much power in choice, and that is so important when it comes to our health." Dr. Bernstein has been busy treating patients for years, but his passion for the future propelled him to become more involved in healthcare entrepreneurship and technology.
"Telemedicine is the future, especially when it comes to preventative care," says Dr. Bernstein. "Telemedicine gives providers the ability to see and talk to their patients with a more flexible and consistent approach. It's all about staying on top of care before problems become too severe."
Passionate about self-improvement and care, Dr. Bernstein, who co-authored "The Success Formula" with Jack Canfield, believes that telemedicine promotes knowledge-sharing. "Telehealth eliminates the disconnect between patient and provider. It promotes trust and cultivates an environment where information is tailored exactly to fit the patient's needs," explains Dr. Bernstein.
As an outspoken advocate for digital tools in the healthcare system, Dr. Bernstein understands how tech holds the answers to the questions we've been asking all along. That is how we can deliver more consistent and quality care to those who need it the most. To him, it was simple. Prioritize outstanding care while adapting to more modern ways of delivering it.
