Cover of The Future Patient by John Duffield: a man standing on a hilltop at sunset, a hospital campus in the valley below.

THE MEMOIR · PUBLISHING SOON

Not just a patient story. A blueprint.

My story of how love, mindset, and artificial intelligence became a lifeline through two open-heart surgeries — with a foreword by Eric E. Roselli, MD, Chief of Adult Cardiac Surgery at Cleveland Clinic.

Hardcover, ebook and audiobook.
Launching in New York City on World Heart Day, Tuesday 29 September.

A book that plays video

QR codes in the margins link each chapter to the real footage of that exact moment — 44 videos, right where they belong in the story.

Two surgeries in twenty days

Recorded as it happened — the diagnosis, the OR doors, the ICU, the news that it didn’t hold, and the way back.

The blueprint

How to use AI, mindset, and the people who love you to become a partner in your own care — not a passenger.

“John did what I wish every patient would do — he became a partner in his own care.”

ERIC E. ROSELLI, MD — FROM THE FOREWORD

“We were on the edge of our seats listening to John describe that he felt he was living proof that AI is the future of the patient experience.”
