"A superb, balanced overview of the remarkable contributions in medicine and health that computers have already made . . . and of the even more remarkable contributions we can look forward to from a pioneer in the field." - Howard H. Hiatt, M.D., professor of medicine, Harvard Medical School, and former dean of the Harvard School of Public Health

In this revised and updated edition of Cybermedicine, author Warner Slack presents a compelling argument for the use of computers for:

  • initial diagnosis and assessment
  • treatment decisions
  • self-care
  • research
  • prevention, and
  • patient empowerment.

"Who will end up in charge of medicine . . . ? Slack's answer is clear: the human physician. In the scenario Slack envisions for the future, man and machine are partners, not competitors." - The Washington Post

Warner Slack is professor of medicine and psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and, with Howard L. Bleich, M.D., co-president of the Center for Clinical Computing and co-director of the Division of Clinical Computing, Department of Medicine, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

"An important book that will help all of us physicians to understand how computers can help us become more able, effective, and knowing doctors." - Robert Coles, M.D., professor of psychiatry and medical humanities, Harvard Medical School and winner of the Pulitzer Prize
