I would like to applaud Dr. Kraft on an engaging, and focused lecture about future healthcare possibilities. The one area that he fixated on the most, was when he was talking about how cellphone apps could greatly improve communication between doctors and their patients. If a person cannot leave their homes to go get a diagnosis, but an app could connect them to a doctor immediately, I too, see the opportunities this could serve the communities. To show the beneficence of Dr. Kraft's proposal, a healthcare system that is able to connect you with a doctor, and that doctor comes to see you, is a healthcare system that would be supported the most. Again, beneficence is about the action someone takes to benefit another, and I think at least considering this notion for mobile technology-based communication with doctors could prove to be rewarding.

It's fun way of learning english by watching dr. Kraft's mindblowing speech, especially for me who work in typical "urban" area in which those technologies were too unimaginable..

im a univ student, the 5th year of bachelor.
after watching this video, i have more much stronger interest on medical × technology(engineering)!!
making me so motivative! thank you!

I think that Daniel Kraft makes some great points in his speak, starting off with referring to our health care system as more of a “sick care” system. The fact of the matter is that Kraft is right, more often than not people only go to the doctors when something is wrong. At that point something is already wrong and it is going to take more effort and more resources and more money to fix it all. Why don't people go to the doctors ever when they are seemingly healthy, that way it would be a preventative stop, to just make sure everything is the way it should be and nothing is starting to go wrong. That would save everyone a ton of trouble in the long run, and could even save your life.
Onto the more overwhelming portion of Kraft’s speech, it is very hard to believe that there are these amazing, unbelievable technologies out there. To be able to track all of those things in your body on your own, with no doctors help seems a bit scary. With the ability to play doctor on your own I feel as if it is going to get out of hand really quickly. Kraft is essentially proposing that the only reason that doctors and patients would ever come into contact with each other again would only be for surgeries. I mean why else would anyone need to drive to a doctors office when they could just FaceTime their physician and have all appointments over smart phones. In that sense of thinking about it, would all physical therapy, rehabilitation, and other doctor run offices be shut down other than a building with strictly operating rooms?
Another thing to worry about is the idea that everyones personal data is going to out there for the world to see, on display even when you wouldn't want it to be. With every little thing being tracked there is no sense of privacy to comfort any individual any more. People that would take this technology and spin it to record all of the wrong things would have no trouble accessing everything because there’s no barrier stopping anyone from looking up whatever they needed to know.

The reality is medicine began in 1944, antibiotics became widely available, before that all a doctor could do was observe and report. Today a doctor many times can't even get this right (prescription of antibiotics for right duration). The future of medicine will have to be prevention, diet, exercise, no smoking, reduced Alcohol consumption. 72 percent of patients are patients due to life style choices.

Talk about a connected physician! GREAT TED talk!

Superb analogy.We have adopted so many techs without even realizing.
There is a gene sequencer for the mobile phone already.
Its made by Oxford Nanopore.
Costs a few hundred dollars.
Can sequence your entire genome.

it is helpful to distinguish myths from the facts. Thanks for sharing this video

How many of these inventions are actually being used today and benefiting society? Trying to mention something like this for a paper I’m writing.

Mr. Kraft speaks about how our healthcare is set up and how we can go about by fixing it. Mr. Kraft tells us about medical advancements and how they could or already have affected us. The first thing he specifically mentions is how our system is basically broken. He says our system is broken because we designed it to help us when we are sick. He says it should be there when needed, but designed to keep us healthy and not get sick in the first place.Our medical system is extremely reactive. Reactive meaning when someone comes in the doctors are there to help them. Some examples are when someone comes in with a stroke, heart attack, or cancer, we react and then treat the disease (if possible). Our healthcare is also very intermittent and expensive. The patients have to wait for their blood pressure, EKG results, or even lab result test. All of these are ingredients to the patient having to pay more out of their pocket. One of the most important parts of healthcare is actually relatively old. The fax machine is used in basically all hospitals in today era. It is used mainly in the healthcare field to write prescriptions for patients. We are trying to move more towards online charting to decrease the time it takes to find a patients chart and make things more simple all together. The system of healthcare has a broken loop in it as well. This broken loop is also in the way that information is given to patients. The loop starts with an action, moves to a reaction, then to a modifier, and then repeats. There is also the time factor of having to see a doctor. Many times it takes a patient an average of at least fifteen minutes to get seen by a doctor or other healthcare specialist. This process is non-beneficial for both the patient and the doctor. It is non beneficial for the doctor because most doctors are rewarded by the amount of patients they see and not by how well they treat their patients. Then for the patients they could be in the doctor’s office for an hour to be in the examination room for just fifteen minutes.This system needs to be more proactive and continuous rather than reactive and intermittent. We can do this by putting more autonomy with the patient. We can do this by intertwining many different aspects into the technology of today. For instance there is an app where you can set up an appointment with a doctor or other healthcare professional to see them when they are available. When they are available it will notify you and then you can video chat with the doctor and explain the problem you are experiencing. Then off of your explanation the doctor can email you a prescription (if necessary) and give you a diagnoses on what they believe the problem might be. This simple process can save the patient and doctor a significant amount of time. Another factor of why we should change the system of healthcare is that most of the money going to the healthcare system is going into reimbursement based medicine. This system is basically bringing many countries towards bankruptcy. The United States of America happens to be using eighty percent of their money towards this reimbursement based medicine (which happens to be higher than any other country). The system should be funding evidence based medicine.This switch could save many countries a significant amount of money that they could be putting towards other investments in the healthcare system. So going back to how technology could change our system drastically, by putting the power in the hands of the patient. There are many things that technology has done to change the game of how things are being handled in everyday life. Mobile phones are able to message an Uber, order your food before your arrival with details included, order items online, and even as mentioned before; contact your doctor or specialist face to face. All we have to do is reimagine our healthcare system and change a few ways we go about some different things. Although since we are changing the system there are some things that should be pointed out. One of the more obvious ones is that everyone should exercise and try to maintain a healthy lifestyle. With this many technologies can help improve several aspects of it and help us understand exactly what is going on. There are headbands that you can wear that help to show you whether or not you are getting enough sleep every night. Then if you aren’t getting enough sleep then it will give you solutions on how to fix this. Along with telling you the effects that could come from not getting enough sleep. There are also armbands that connect to your phones that will tell you your oxygen level, heart rate, steps taken, calories burned, and even whether or not you are laying down or standing up.With all of this information it helps to make the patient more autonomous. Autonomy should be something that is focused on in healthcare for patients. All because of the things it can do for doctors and patients as previously listed. So will you join the technological generation or stay in the slow moving past? What would you do if you had a chance to go to the doctor’s office or stay at home and talk to them in your pajamas?

But all these reasults of any diagnostic evaluation not proper at every situation... this is the issue
How can you fix this ?
