Moving healthcare to your fingertips: Klaus Phanareth at TEDxCopenhagen 2012

Imagine a future where we all, regardless of education or wealth, have the power and the knowledge to take charge of our own health. Our healthcare system will coach, support and empower us in using its services to do so anytime we need it. What if chronic disease no longer will require us to visit specialists or spend time in the hospital?
Klaus Phanareth explains how this is possible though the Epital concept that combines digitalization, accessible telehealth services and common sense.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.*

This is an incredible speech, filled with everything I talk about and more. I can't believe I've never heard of this speech - thank you Klaus!

Did you recognize me, Dave?

wonderful beginning. Simple. Of cause I imagine to have so many practitioners on call, immediately providing help, it must be socialized medicine. Is it? Cutting the time in traffic is already a huge advantage. After all even in US we have nurses available on the phone to assist you with advise.....at least long ago. However when I brought my little daughter with some asthma-like attack, hospital refuse her help before seeing insurance. Attack went away and I learn to place her in a humid air.

it was a simple solution, no shots, one old Russian doctor suggested it to me, after listening about conditions, when it happened. Most of the times psychosomatic or environmental stressors prompt the fear, expensive treatment, destruction. Your method will definitely help.
