How genomics, big data, and digital technology are revolutionizing every aspect of medicine, from physical exams to drug prescriptions to organ transplants    “The Creative Destruction of Medicine should be required reading by all physicians and in all medical schools. It is simply that good.” —Forbes  Technology dominates our lives, and personal genomics is revolutionizing biology.
