Stethoscopes and Silicon: Indian Doctors in the Next Medical Era is a reflective and forward-looking examination of how technology is reshaping the practice, ethics, and identity of medicine in India and beyond. Moving beyond simplistic narratives of technological disruption, the book explores artificial intelligence, digital platforms, genomics, telemedicine, robotics, and data-driven healthcare through the lived realities of doctors working at scale, under constraint, and amid deep social diversity.

Written for medical professionals, educators, and health policymakers, the book argues that the future of medicine will not be decided by machines alone, but by how doctors interpret, govern, and humanise technology. It positions Indian doctors not merely as adopters of global innovations, but as potential thought leaders capable of shaping ethical, scalable, and inclusive models of care for the world.

Blending clinical insight with ethical reflection and policy awareness, Stethoscopes and Silicon calls for reclaiming professional judgment, protecting equity, and designing humane healthcare systems—where the stethoscope and the silicon chip coexist with wisdom rather than fear.
