In this episode of the Breakout with Newt Gingrich podcast, Newt discusses how the smartphone will be the focus of the 21st century health system—one that focuses on patients and their specific needs. Smartphones will allow patients to take possession of their medical records and may even diagnose illnesses and prescribe medication. The transformation will not be quick however, as prison guards of the past like the FDA obstruct the transformation to a 21st century health system.
