چکیده
To the Editor: Health-care redesign seems to be a buzzword in the USA. However, the President Trump recently objected to some parts of Obamacare. No one doubts the importance of the initiatives of “shooting for the moon” and precision medicine in cancer treatment. All-round health care has had a major beneficial impact through state‐of‐the‐art technology, such as big data, internet medical care services, smart medical devices, and minimally invasive techniques. As a result, health care is entering a new, third era; a collision between emerging technology and old notions of care redesign. This new era has also aroused broader interest from global leading experts to the general public.
