Saving Lives In Slow Motion

P4 Medicine - the future of health and evidence based prevention

Saving Lives In Slow Motion

Show Notes

In this episode I look at the concept of P4 Medicine: predictive, preventive, personalised and participatory and how it will change the way we look proactively at our health.

Leroy Hood is seen as the thought leader of this model of medicine as a visionary doctor and scientist.

I passionately believe in the concept if health systems can afford it.
