Like many of us, I usually tend to keep up with developments in technology as they reach us in dribs and drabs, without really paying attention to the overall picture. Yet according to some experts, we are in a period of transformation of all aspects of life and society as revolutionary as that of the original Industrial Revolution. Healthcare entrepreneur and global business expert Harry Glorikian, an Armenian-American based in the Boston area, focuses our attention on how artificial intelligence (AI) and big data during this transformation affect healthcare in his new book The Future You: How Artificial Intelligence Can Help You Get Healthier, Stress Less, and Live Longer (Dering Harbor, New York: Brick Tower Press, 2021). The book several months ago was on the top ten list of Amazon.com For example, New York Times bestselling author of 14 books on nutrition and health, and a television medical correspondent, Bob Arnot, M.D., in his brief introduction in the book recommends it be turned into the centerpiece of your coffee table.

It comes as no surprise that we, too, are shifting the way we approach healthcare. More and more, people are taking their health into their own hands through use of wearable technology and apps on their mobile device. Within the last year alone, according to the latest forecast from Gartner, worldwide end-user spending on wearable devices increased 18.1 percent from 2020. People are embracing technology for health and wellness more than ever. From leading successful healthcare ventures to being a sought-after speaker on innovative concepts and trends, Harry Glorikian understands the revolutionary potential artificial intelligence and data can have on healthcare and life sciences.
