Take Health Care off the Mainframe - a TED Talk

Dan Limbach

Intel is working on new ideas in health care.

Are there better ways to treat patients? Are we treating the illness rather than using technology to predict and prevent health issues before they become a bigger problem.

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.

Galectin-3: Enabling a New Pharmaceutical Paradigm in Treatment of Heart Failure

This session will provide a unique look at the role of the protein galectin-3 in pharmacological treatment of heart failure. Galectin-3 may transform heart failure from a signs and symptoms based definition of disease to one based on distinct disease processes. Galectin-3 segmentation may be relevant for efficacy of certain drug classes and galectin-3 inhibition may one day offer a new approach to disease modifying therapy in heart failure.
