A Toronto medical doctor has been hired by Apple Inc. to help chart the future of family medicine after his YouTube videos caught the eye of the technology giant. Dr. Mike Evans, also known as "DocMikeEvans" and a former staff physician at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, has already started his new line of digital health care work with Apple. "I think why they are engaging me is the messaging," Evans told Matt Galloway on CBC's Metro Morning on Monday. (YouTube)Evans said Apple became interested in his videos that feature his voice and a cartoon doctor explaining common medical problems with the help of a whiteboard. Evans said the future of health care will be a combination of face-to-face visits, involving a doctor and a patient who trusts that doctor, and advanced technology.
