The increasing spread of technology in the world of health: significance for healthcare professions?

When big tech companies are developing fingernail sensors to detect diseases such as Parkinson's earlier or ‘smart’ shorts are making muscle energy expenditure and the probability of injuries more transparent thanks to sensors and AI  then we’re not talking about the future, but instead about today's fitness and health technologies. What does this development mean for pharmacies or the practices of doctors and physiotherapists? The first answers are provided by Edition 1 of FitTech Insider - a German-language magazine just now published by the FitTech Company in cooperation with the Wort & Bild Verlag, Germany's largest health publishing house.
