Overview

El desarrollo de una aplicación para el teléfono móvil capaz de diagnosticar y tratar cualquier dolencia que padezca el usuario podría significar un enorme adelanto en la prevención y tratamiento de enfermedades, pero también podría prestarse a muchos busos.
George Wilson, residente de tercer año de radiología, despierta una mañana junto al cadáver de Kasey, su prometida. No tardará en averiguar que la joven, diabética desde niña, había participado en una serie de pruebas de una novísima aplicación que está a punto de salir al mercado.
Bautizada como iDoc y destinada a revolucionar la medicina del futuro, dicha tecnología aportará al móvil la capacidad de diagnosticar y tratar cualquier enfermedad. Es decir, optimizar resultados con menor coste y, por tanto, prescindir de los médicos.
Al fallecimiento de Kasey se sucede el de otros pacientes sometidos a la misma batería de pruebas. Ante este descubrimiento, George decide violar la normativa del hospital y acceder a los últimos estudios que le habían realizado a su novia.
Finalmente descubre que Kasey padecía cáncer de ovarios en fase avanzada y llega entonces a una conclusión aterradora: alguien está manipulando los datos que maneja el iDoc y las consecuencias puedes ser terribles para millones de usuarios.
Averiguar la verdad que se esconde tras esta novedosa aplicación podría poner en peligro su vida personal y profesional.

English Description

George Wilson, M.D., a radiology resident in Los Angeles, is about to enter a profession on the brink of an enormous paradigm shift, foreshadowing a
vastly different role for doctors everywhere. The smartphone is poised to take on a new role in medicine, no longer as a mere medical app but rather
as a fully customizable personal physician capable of diagnosing and treating even better than the real thing. It is called iDoc.

George's initial collision with this incredible innovation is devastating. He awakens one morning to find his fiancée dead in bed alongside him, not
long after she participated in an iDoc beta test. Then several of his patients die after undergoing imaging procedures. All of them had been part of the same beta test. Is it possible that iDoc is being subverted by
hackers—and that the U.S. government is involved in a cover-up? Despite threats to both his career and his freedom, George relentlessly seeks the truth, knowing that if he's right, the consequences could be lethal.
