Sum-up

还是发现这篇文章的逻辑导图有点难整（也许对我来说都很难整），后来看了安妮的导图觉得真心比不过她的修为啊。之后又花了挺久做修改（以后也该像鲸鱼同学一样把before和after都发出来）。觉得难点在于虽然文章将数字医疗价值链粗略分为三类集团，但有些角色会兼具两类集团的成员，例如医院既是traditional innovator又是incumbent player，所以数字医疗带来的影响是两方面的，其一是提高了医院的效率，其二则是降低了病人的就诊率。但我认为数字医疗肯定是弊大于利的。有人也许认为量化生活让现代人过得太繁琐，为啥需要对自己了解得那么多呢，以前没有智能手环、体脂仪、心率计，不也过得好好么。但本文也提醒了我们这样的变化给我们健康和医疗带来了多么深远的影响，治疗糖尿病的最好办法就是让人们不患上糖尿病~~
