Digital technology has undoubtedly transformed the healthcare industry. This revolution has, however, unintentionally created a communication gap. Both forward-thinking doctors and open-minded patient struggle to communicate, which can lead to frustration. Some patients who want to be more informed and proactive in their healthcare are discouraged by others. Some healthcare workers would be happy to share their 21st century practices with others, but nobody seems interested.
Our “Ask Me About Digital’ initiative is designed to help facilitate this contact by offering badges and pins to show that a given healthcare practice is open-minded and has digital health knowledge that they are willing to share.
How do I join?
You can get your badge or pin for free if you’re a healthcare professional. Just fill out the form on our page and click the “Join Now” button.
The display of these badges can be viewed as a symbol. This badge sends the message to your patients that you are not only open to digital health discussions, but you also actively welcome them. This visual reminder can help open up in-depth conversations about 21st century health technologies. It will also enable patients to better comprehend and use these advanced tools.
What is it used for?
- If you’re a patient and you see a badge for the campaign on your doctor’s door, you’re encouraged to ask any questions you have about technology or digital, as this medical professional will be able help you.
- You can encourage patients to ask these questions if you display the badge at your front door.
Why do we do it?
Digital health will eventually benefit everyone and provide access to high-quality care to those who cannot get it now. The Medical Futurist’s vision is to create a community that includes empowered patients, forward-looking healthcare professionals, health policymakers who are concerned about the future, health tech developers with a sense of responsibility, and passionate medical students. Together, we can make this giant leap. We conduct research and studies to advance this paradigm shift from theory to impact. We help individuals, institutions, and governments.
We have also prepared a book for you to use in your communication with your patients about medical technologies.
The digital revolution presents many new challenges. One of them is the communication between health professionals and patients. We recently released the third edition of the A Practical Guide About Digital Health for Medical Professionals, which is available to download free.
This guide will help you if, as a healthcare professional, you have difficulty answering questions about digital health from your patients. Even for experienced healthcare professionals, it can be difficult to navigate the complexities of digital health technologies. This guide will help healthcare professionals in these discussions. This resource is free and included in the initiative. It offers valuable information and conversation bubbles to facilitate conversations about digital health.
It is important to stay up to date on digital health issues and to navigate the questions that arise when people Google their symptoms, use health apps, or ask ChatGPT before they go to the doctor.
A massive change is taking place in the healthcare industry. Digital health is revolutionizing all aspects of healthcare, from diagnosis to patient management, hospital administration to clinical trial, medical education to personalized medicine and digital therapeutics. You can enroll in the Digital Health Course if you’re unsure about how this will affect your future career or you want to understand this paradigm change quickly and easily. This program will provide you with the necessary knowledge to navigate the changing health landscape.
The Medical Futurist published the first version of Ask Me About Digital, our initiative to connect tech-savvy doctors and patients.

Homeopathic Medicine gets its name from the Greek word homoios (similar) and pathos (disease). Homeopaths believe that every disease has natural causes.

Energy Healing can also be known by the names Reiki, EFT Rolfing and Therapeutic Touch. This therapy draws on the belief that we are each connected to a universal life force called Ki. We feel better when this Ki flows freely through our bodies. Energy healers work with touch and intention to restore harmony and balance between our mental, spiritual, and physical selves.

A Brief History of Holistic Medicine
Holistic medicine focuses on the whole person and not just their symptoms. It includes physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, occupational, environmental, cultural, and lifestyle influences. Prevention is better than treatment. It focuses on prevention and management of disease, such as diet, exercise, relaxation, stress management, and so forth.
Bastyr University in Seattle established the first holistic medical school in 1972. After Dr. Andrew Weil’s 1996 book, “Spontaneous Healing”, holistic medicine started to flourish. Dr. David Williams founded the American Holistic Medical Association, Dr. Michael Murray co-founded it in 1997. There are many holistic medicine schools around the world today, including Bastyr University and Columbia College of Physicians & Surgeons.
2013 was the year holistic medicine was declared one of the five main trends in healthcare by the World Health Organization. This trend seeks to integrate conventional healthcare with complementary therapies, such as homeopathy, acupuncture and massage therapy. This integration aims to provide safe, effective, patient-centered care while minimizing side effects and costs.
Holistic medicine works as a result of an interconnected mind-body-spirit. Illness can occur when any one of these three components is out of balance. Here are some examples:
When your mind is anxious or stressed, you can become tense and out-of-balance. Cortisol, which is a hormone that promotes inflammation throughout the body, is what your body produces. This causes you to feel weak and tired.
Negative emotions can cause you to feel anger, fear and grief. These feelings can lead to stress in the brain. If this stress is not treated, your body will produce adrenaline or cortisol. Adrenaline boosts heart rate, blood pressure and breathing rate. Cortisol impacts your immune system as well as your digestive tract and nervous system. Both hormones can cause fatigue, muscle tension and headaches, as well as anxiety, depression, anxiety, dizziness, insomnia, sleeplessness, headaches, dizziness and other health problems.
You can lose your faith and hope in life if you feel depressed. You might also experience low self-esteem, confidence, and lack of self-confidence. This can lead you to poor eating habits and unhealthy relationships. It can also cause low energy. When your spirit is healthy, you feel happy, joyous, peaceful, and optimistic.
There are differences between alternative and traditional medicine.
Allopathic medicine relies on scientific methods. Doctors use xrays to diagnose patients. If needed, they may prescribe medication or perform surgery. Allopathic doctors believe they understand the human body, and can prescribe medications to treat ailments. Alternative medicine involves herbs, vitamins minerals, diet, exercise and spiritual healing. There is no standard definition of alternative medicine. You can call it natural medicine. It is also known as traditional medicine or naturopathic medicine.
