http://www.iftf.org/reworkinghealth This video is from our 2013 Health Horizons Map of the Decade, Reworking Health: New Authorities in a Well-being Economy, which is a guide to the new tools and resources that can augment traditional health work—as well as the new health and well-being authorities that will emerge from unexpected places. New measurement tools will enable physicians to more objectively quantify pain, thereby shifting authority away from the individual's subjective experience. Multifaceted assessments will combine physiology-based measurement with data from clinical encounters and daily life to reveal a holistic, individualized view of pain. Alternative therapies will emerge as legitimate when backed by numbers proving positive outcomes. At the same time, these tools also create potential new dilemmas around privacy and understanding subjective experience.
