Overview

In an age of AI and genomic medicine, why does care still run on a reactive, repair-first logic-and what will it take to change it? Drawing on current research, cross-disciplinary practice, and lived experiences, Why Medicine Got Sick dissects a system that measures without transforming, automates without listening, and treats chronic conditions as if they were acute. This is a blueprint to rebuild the very foundations of healthcare with all the technology and knowledge already available-so prevention, context, and human connection become the operating system of care. What You'll Learn Beyond ""no symptoms."" Why the absence of disease is not the presence of life-and how to read the body beyond lab ranges and ""normal"" test results. From fragments to flow. How organ-centric silos and episodic care create blind spots and failures across a patient's journey. The hidden economics. Why fee-for-service rewards correction over prevention-and what value-based care must actually measure. Invisible variables, clinical impact. Habits, emotions, environments, and social context as decision-grade data-not optional footnotes. The documentation trap. How bureaucratic overload burns out clinicians and degrades outcomes-and where technology can truly liberate time for presence. Chronic acute. A practical reframe for diabetes, obesity, depression and beyond: continuity, relationship, and adaptation over one-off fixes. A regenerative pact. From cell biology to system design, shifting from repair to resilience as the core promise of healthcare. Why This Book Matters For patients: It validates what many already feel-that ""normal"" tests don't equal well-being-and offers tools to claim better care. For professionals: It delivers a framework to reclaim listening, elevate multidisciplinary teamwork, and practice medicine that heals without exhausting. For innovators and policymakers: It maps why digital health has stumbled and how to design adoption-ready solutions that scale with impact. How You'll Use It Reclaim precision through listening. Turn patient stories into structured clinical signals that drive smarter decisions. Design for adherence. Build care plans people can actually live-aligned with real routines, barriers, and meaning. Make environments therapeutic. From ICU noise to circadian light, use space as an active variable in outcomes. Deploy tech where it matters. Free up time for presence, close loops across teams, and measure what improves life-not just charts. About the Author A transdisciplinary builder trained in communication, product innovation, and behavioral design, the author writes from the intersection of technology and human experience. Having seen the cold efficiency of hospitals and the silent signals of the body ignored by protocols, he bridges data and lived reality into a narrative that is rigorous, accessible, and urgently useful. Bottom Line Why Medicine Got Sick is both a manifesto and a field guide. It exposes the silent failures of a system designed for the past-and lays out practical moves to rebuild healthcare around prevention, vitality, and human connection.
