How the "biological footprint" could keep patients alive | Dr. Shirin Hund | TEDxZurich

Dr. Shirin Hund, a Harvard-trained internal medicine physician, advocates changing how doctors diagnose and dispense health care. She urges patients and doctors to utilize the "Biological Footprint," a measure of the personal legacy and global impact of one's healthy (or unhealthy) life. A prescription as crucial to reducing human suffering as carbon emissions are to our planet's future health. As a practicing physician, medical consultant, and advisory board member, Dr. Hund's expertise extends from the patient's bedside to teaching the next generation of doctors to analyzing and improving the current medical system. She received multiple grants and awards to support her interests in improving medical access and services for vulnerable patient populations and is an alumna of the Harvard Macy Institute Program for Future Academic Clinician-Educators for her development of an innovative curriculum for Harvard Medical School students. Dr. Hund has numerous publications in the fields of medical education, medical humanities, and clinical immunology in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, Academic Medicine, and Immunology. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
