It’s been two years since I’ve published reviews of healthcare IT articles, not that there haven’t been tons of interesting factoids, studies, and commentaries out there. My file currently contains 253 pieces awaiting my comment. I’ve held off adding mine to the cacophony of voices because, well, there are so many already vying for your attention. However, I’ve recently come across a couple of articles that I believe shout to be heard. They deserve a bit of your valuable attention because each delivers a provocative meta-perspective on where we’re at.
If I were asked where to locate the essence of physical identity, I would answer without hesitation, “in the immune system,” the part of our physiology tasked with distinguishing each of us from everybody and everything else in the world. The face comes in second. By messing with images of our face, technology messes with who we are. My message here is consistent with my overall view of technology. We need to be deliberate and careful in how we use it, especially when we capture, process, analyze and present images of ourselves.
These days it’s healthcare administrators, much more than doctors, who decide what is to be done in healthcare.
