Tomorrow’s mobile intelligent health companions could join us wherever we are. They hold the promise of earlier diagnosis or even prevention of many diseases and disorders or help during interventions and therapy. They could also be a valuable assistant for clinicians and therapists in collecting patient data and intelligently preparing it for optimal human assessment. Operating at scale, such companions could also give insight in so far unknown dimension into the development and spread of diseases, or efficiency of therapies. We shall have a sneak-preview into this brave new health world featuring in main roles neurodevelopmental, neurodegenerative, and psychological disorders. Be thrilled about the opportunities!
