3 THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS FOR THE DIGITAL FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE | Christoph Holz | TEDxMedUniGraz

[@0sapnachouhan0]

Yes, this is the time to be doing these 'thought experiments' and putting no limit on what we can imagine because one day it will be achievable. Truly exciting times.

[@johnpederson3085]

My granddaughter has cochlear implants and I cannot sing the praises of this amazing technology enough.

[@shystrshystr]

I have been waiting for this for so long and it is FINALLY HERE

[@ben-basi]

Love what he says about hearing aids! My mother has hers synced to her phone and to her laptop and it's honestly so cool to think about how that kind of tech is going to evolve

[@janetsplace1953]

This is such an important conversation to be having now, a real conversation where we ask big difficult questions, that simply right now aren't answered fully. I like forward to you Christoph being one of the people asking...

[@dotheyrock8637]

truth

[@ninamenes]

Many men die needlessly because of prostrate cancer. Having the technology to test and operate would save so many lives.

[@maryyouson4404]

I still think we have the capacity to remember and recall things that are beyond our current abilities.

[@helenimnotready]

wow, great video for anyone interested in the intersection of technology and healthcare.

[@deluxe_vegan1390]

can we take a moment to appreciate this man's color coordination?

[@rebeccadcarl]

the fit is 🔥

[@georgenotbest]

I know heaps of people who are super excited for this to be a thing.

[@riddermartijn]

Thought experiments like these challenge our assumptions and provoke critical thinking about the realities of technological advancements - both positive and negative.

[@itsmesamrendall]

I'm sorry but how amazing is the chip he talks about around the 3:30 mark? Powered by your chewing??? Incredible.

[@andreas2701]

It’s much more than just healthcare, isn’t it? Despite these thoughts are amazing for myself the most important one is the danger of technology developing faster than our moral. Thanks Mr. Holz - Recently, I became a curious listener to your podcast making my days even more worthwhile !

[@dipl.-informatikerchristop4811]

Its a pleasure to hear this ! Many thanks!

[@purergonzojournalismus]

Mister Holz is a very special speaker!

[@janetsplace1953]

agreed, my biggest worry.

[@gaiasardoni]

Personally I'm really excited for the digital future. Not just for healthcare but literally everything. Learning, working, socializing, decorating... everything!!

[@braydenteagan5572]

Having a chip that can analyze DNA within minutes is impressive. It could be a game-changer for medical diagnostics and situations that are time sensitive.

[@lincolnmessier1840]

The part about the chip that can be inserted into the teeth and powered by your chewing is so cool. Like just really peak innovation right there.

[@camerongdowd]

I'm pretty happy I was born into this time, it's incredible the uses for things people are coming up with.

[@stanchance]

I'm finding it a little scary to be honest

[@justinberdand]

Can we just get over being scared of everything and embrace the fact that these advancements could actually be really beneficial to how we operate in our daily lives?

[@butterflyaffect]

'12 hour surgeries were never meant for humans in the first place' - very true.

[@nostatus4me]

I hope we can find a way to prevent pandemics with tech, hospitals are scary enough.

[@ThisIsMyGalaxy]

I am so grateful to the innovation that has allowed those to experience the full spectrum of being human that they would not have otherwise experienced. However, my forgetfulness is not a reason to have a microchip implanted in me.

[@juniorjensen]

I knew this day was coming! I did! That doesn't keep me from cringing a bit thinking about it and seeing that x-ray... Yep...

[@michael-rivera]

This is a really cool talk Christoph, thank you.

[@emmasmythe]

Having surgery away from a hospital setting and your own dedicated nursing robot would deliver much better outcomes. Hospitals are the last place you want to be when you're sick.

[@myfavoritestories]

Medical breakthrough that enhance an individuals quality of life sounds like a good thing. Nothing is really ever a certainty though I do think I'd give it a go if that meant I could hear at an old age.

[@vladhvadim]

absolutely!

[@danabailey3887]

My daughter's cochlear implant has changed her world. We were hesitant to have something like that in her brain but she can hear birds and our voices. Wonderful.

[@konglum]

such an incredible technology

[@MochaOoze]

that dna analysis idea is so cool!

[@elissazachary3790]

I never knew that the defibrillator was invented by Mary Shelley! Very cool, thanks Christoph.

[@simonkranzer6557]

Sehr spannend! Inspiring talk Christoph!

[@dipl.-informatikerchristop4811]

Thank you Simon !

[@natalemodesto]

These are really cool scenarios to think about! I really hope it does get to a point where an ambulance can just rock up to wherever the medical emergency is and is equipped with something that can assess and provide treatment right then and there. Would be so valuable in terms of those situations where time is crucial.

[@gizmeaux]

Wow I learnt so much from this talk! Suggested videos on point for a change.

[@12100myts]

i feel like they made the algorithm better or something

[@lilyschmyer]

Man it is crazy how far technology has come in such a short time... and how much further it's about to go!!

[@fionatruscott]

This makes me genuinely excited for the future of health care. I though telehealth was pretty awesome but the possibilities for where it could go from here are really interesting!

[@jim-chew]

Enjoyed Christoph's talk because of the many examples he gave of how digital technology is and will be a benefit for all of us.

[@lilygrander]

There's something about the idea of human implanted microchips that really appeals to me. It's this ease of access of what's important to me in a now very complicated world.

[@mannylestrada]

As someone who often forgets passwords I'd be delighted to have a microchip holding all that information.

[@darioconsolata8691]

yes, although I'd be afraid of someone getting ahold of all that. guess it's not much different than having a password manager though

[@katemartens]

Omg yes is there also a way to include accessing our homes in this chip? I would love to never have to worry about forgetting my keys.

[@russhearn]

AGI is not far away!!

[@taliksharot]

Surely we always knew that this is where we were going with computer tech and micro chips?

[@wzhen9391]

We really are living in the future.

[@ameyhousten]

I'm all for robots. Truly. I just wish we knew our own potential before we started to outsource.

[@ninamenes]

Haha! This is a funny way to look at robots and how we'll be using them

[@felicityhalette]

I really love Christophs idealism here. Sadly I'm a lot more realistic and highly doubt medicine will evolve to a place like this. At least not in the US, where everything is an industry, designed to make money.

[@dahliaegil]

I think nursing robots will be a wonderful addition to hospital wards. No more strained backs and injuries from lifting patients.

[@blockchainbobisbroke]

yeah, this could especially help with reducing fatigue-related slip-ups as well

[@luisasanchez5532]

I can already hear the kind of protests people will make about their privacy and how invasive it all is 🙄

[@asiscranda]

I would be thrilled to have all my data in a microchip, bring it on I say.

[@T__B]

Has your wife already taken the chip out, really at the kitchen table with a knife or axe ? Fascinating, exciting and entertaining at the same time. I find the thought experiments very interesting. What the future brings will probably all be there sooner than we think.

[@janetsplace1953]

haha thats brutal

[@the-cookie_monster]

NGL those hearing aids sound pretty cool.

[@thisismindfulness]

There is such a divide in this, I know some people who can't wait to get that chip and put their whole lives on it and others that are genuinely so repulsed by it

[@colincampbell5068]

Where do I go to get this magic chip? Please sign me up immediately I can only see the positive side of this technology.

[@stewynotthedog]

Okay the self driving car thing freaks me out though. Unless there was some way to swap over ALL the cars at the same time there's still going to be people just cruising around, completely able to make mistakes and there you were UNABLE to react because AI is driving your car!!

[@malachijude]

A self driving OR with a robot doing the operation is a little confronting for me I gotta say.

[@jessyclaston]

😍🤩😯

[@mindfulmeditationsforall]

What he talks about around the 6:30 mark is super interesting but I think we're still a far way away from it becoming a reality.

[@ninamenes]

Maybe not so far as you think...

[@marinamajeran8904]

I don't think I'm comfortable with a chip in my body. I'm still working on the chip on my shoulder! However we do have chips in our pets and the way this is explained it certainly makes sense.

[@marianaattentio]

I mean everything is pretty much already on our phones that we carry in our pockets right? Not much difference it going in our hands

[@brittaniecrum]

Routinely we read about patients getting incorrect care in hospital. A microchip with their medical data would end this quickly!

[@lauraladlow]

Some of his "thought experiments" may have gone completely over my head.

[@sammypdennison]

I know a guy who had the NFC part of a transit card implanted into his hand and then got in trouble because it was a misuse of govt property lol

[@emma.st.charles]

Did Mary Shelley actually invent the defibrillator? I had no idea...

[@lollo-lia]

I felt really sorry for Christoph because no one laughed at his jokes. Maybe it was his accent? I thought it was very good

[@atomoyoga]

" Technology is running faster than intuition " 🤦 Scary! Solving all the external problems is a big problem! We need to focus on ethics and education more and a bit less in technology. But that is a utopia

[@iamsamfemia]

I can't wait for all the conspiracy theories to start about wHaT tHe cHiPs aCtuaLLy dO
