wie Sie tun, machen, Film, Beispiel
http://www.ted.com Eric Topol says we'll soon use our smartphones to monitor our vital signs and chronic conditions. At TEDMED, he highlights several of the most important wireless devices in medicine's future -- all helping to keep more of us out of hospital beds. TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes.

Your boss and insurance co will live this. Monitor you at work and fire you when you are having trouble. One bad spike and the ins co will drop you like a hot potato! That super hot chick you are close to hooking up with will read you and see all your health issues. By by love !
-
then all i need to do is hack their device and I will be able to monitor their vital functions, and those of their families MWAHAHAHAHAHA! >:D or better yet, upload a live feed online an have THE ENTIRE WORLD monitoring your vital signs, every living heartbeat >:D
-
and you'd not wish yo prevent such emergencies from happening in the first place? that boggles my brain
-
surely that is not what this tedtalk was about. all disEases are the product of the degration of the air we breath, food we eat and sleep interruptrd by the constant electrical static we now live. natures subtle energies can not compete. all that taxes us will cost us our health. maybe these devicess will let us see just how much we are affected by all we do or not do

"more has been learned about the underpinnings of disease in the last 2.5 years, than in the history of man." Yet he didn't bother to give even a single example of ANY insight into ANY disease we have gained in the last 2.5 years.

I am not against the application of new technologies. Even more so I like technology very much, especially if it improves care. But as WhichDcotor 1 pointed out, how do we protect the dotor from an information overload syndrome, and also prevent overtreatment and overdiagnosing? At the end of the day we are all human, not machines.
-
wevenhuis- These are all very valid and important questions to ask.(Why the thumbs down?) Apart from all the questions about how the doctor manages the data. There is also the question of weather all this monitoring could lead to unnecessary treatments that could cost more and even cores harm. This is the case already with some conventional scans and tests.
-
ricande- The thing is, if the apps hes talking about are only available on the iphone how else is he supposed to give examples?
-
Every ounce of my hypochondriac body is tingling with a desire for this technology.... I think... I hope that tingling is desire, I'm really not sure .... This technology couldn't come to soon
-
@edv11nas yeah...
-
05:18 Wait... "CHF $ 37 Billion/Yr"??? ... Why is he telling that in Swiss Francs? Maybe I didn't see or hear something, but I'm to lazy to check again :P
-
Money should be spent elsewhere. I hate how companies like this will receive such an abundance of money while people within the cities where these are produced are homeless. Eat healthy, be active, and age may be the only reason for heart failure in later years. I feel this constant monitoring will further increase human anxiety as the users will constantly be checking it. Things like this make life too technology driven.
-
well I heard they were making some kinda windows 7 mobile or something... yes, an actual mobile.
-
this is retarded. people don't need to see how bad their health is, they need to eat the right foods and not have to worry about their health. come on TED. yea, this may be impressive tech, but its a step backwards in improving our health. this "vital information" only benefits corporations investing in (and proliferating) our poor health. completely stupid. i hope we never get to the point where this tech becomes widely used.
-
Is that TED thing in someway related with iphone? It's pissing me off that they say IThis n IThat like there is only one effin phone on the planet. So you wanna reach people in developing countries with those apps but only if they'll own fu**ing IPhone? There's more great phones out there and ppl that could use these med-app's with their handsets. I hate monopolistic attempts by apple. F**ck IRhytm, f**ck IShoe, f**ck ITunes. IFuck you.
-
Well this will make assassination much easier. You can confirm a kill just by hacking someone's monitors with your nexus 1. Oooh or you could send a fake signal showing liver failure or something so that the doctors do the killing.
-
awesome
-
ups, he just mentioned the Iphone just in the end :P well, I like this ideas anyway
-
well, actually I didn't see any logo during the lecture.. I think you can show anything if nothing is specially related to a certain brand...isn't it?
We know marketing is overpowering good technology.
