Intel's Eric Dishman Demonstrates a New Approach to HealthCare

In March 2013, Eric Dishman, general manager of Intel's Health Strategy & Solutions Group, gave an impassioned TED talk about his personal experiences with the current Health Care System. His understanding of the basis of current health care, his personal exposure to missed diagnosis and his knowledge of smart devices has caused him to re-imagine health care featuring in-home delivery from teams of relevant health care providers.

His work has been featured in The New York Times, Washington Post and Businessweek. The Wall Street Journal named him one of “12 People Who Are Changing Your Retirement.” He has delivered keynotes on independent living for events such as the annual Consumer Electronics Show, the IAHSA International Conference and the National Governors Association.

Fast Company said:

"'All of health care is based on one idea from the 1850s,' says social scientist Eric Dishman, Intel's director of health innovation. 'That it has to be delivered in a face-to-face setting.' His research on aging is behind evolving systems to provide more effective home care. His goal is to enable 50% of care in the U.S. to be delivered in the home by 2020."

This TED talk is worth every one of the 15 minutes it runs:
