La TEDMED, Eric Dishman face o afirmaţie curajoasă: sistemul american de sănătate semănă cu calculatoarele din 1959, conectate la sisteme centrale imense şi greoaie: spitale, doctori, sanatorii. Pe măsură ce populaţia în vârstă creşte exploziv, el consideră că este imperativ să creăm un sistem de sănătate  personalizat, în reţea şi la domiciliul fiecăruia.

Eric Dishman: Să scoatem sănătatea de pe sistemul centralizat.

Relying on hospitals and clinics for every health need is outdated and unsustainable, especially as the world now has more older people than ever before. New technologies can quietly monitor behaviors in daily life, like a phone reminding someone to take medication or tracking changes in voice as early signs of disease. In 1,000 households across 20 countries, sensor networks reveal risks and patterns that traditional visits miss. Moving half of all healthcare into the home could save money, improve lives, and prepare for the coming age wave.
