TEDxAcademy - Walter De Brouwer - How to swallow your doctor October 22, 2011

Favorite:

This talk discusses health under the prism of evolving and converging technologies, with 'mythical' instruments coming to life and defining the new health market. It'll be right at our homes, with the convenience of our smartphone. Technology will provide us with the power to be in control of our health indicators, have instant results' evaluations and take educated decisions. Technology will enable us to "swallow our doctors" instead of waiting endlessly for 2 minutes of their time, and this new era is coming sooner than we think. We'll be the last generation that know so little about our health.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
