Remake health care before our ageing boomers break the system

March 16, 2010

Eric Dishman does health care research for Intel — studying technical (and societal) solutions for problems in care for the aging. At TEDMED, Eric Dishman makes a bold argument: The US health care system is like computing circa 1959, tethered to big, unwieldy central systems: hospitals, doctors, nursing homes. As our aging population booms, it’s imperative, he says, to create personal, networked, home-based health care for all.
