Smartphones and tablet computers are the signature products of the twenty-first century. It is no surprise then that twenty-first century medicine is integrating the latest technology into the way care is delivered. This week's guest discusses exciting prospects of utilizing technology in the field of public health along with the potential challenges. Dr. David Kaelber is the Chief Medical Informatics Officer at MetroHealth and received his degrees in medicine and biomedical engineering at Case Western Reserve University.
