TED Talk: Take Health Care Off the Mainframe
As the Baby Boom generation ages, affordable and effective health care is becoming an increasingly large priority. This interesting and informative lecture explains how everyday technology can help monitor the stability of a person’s condition and why home health care is an important way to preserve the health and wellbeing of elderly patients.
The idea that patients should travel to one main location, such as a hospital, to receive health care began in 1787 and persists to this day. However, just as computing has gradually shifted from large, expert-operated mainframes to everyday personal devices, health care needs to transition to proactive, home-based services. This will lower costs, prevent the onset of certain chronic conditions, and minimize medical errors fostered by the use of multiple impersonal clinicians.
