Abstract :
What should be the priorities for health-care technology a decade from now? Given enormous population expansion and pressure, given increased concern with health care, given diminished efficiency of care owing to these overpressures, and given an enticing banquet of sophisticated technology-what should we do now to shape the future, explicitly and deliberately, so that ten years from now we will not regret lost opportunities?
