The document discusses the future role of doctors. It notes that new technologies like mobile health, wearables, and telemedicine will change how doctors practice medicine and interact with patients. It suggests that doctors will need to adapt to managing patients remotely through continuous monitoring, engaging with patients online as they do with other services, and using smartphones and other tools to aid their practice. The future role of doctors may involve less direct patient visits and more coordination of care through digital means.
