Intel as Healthcare Reform??!
Intel is a chip maker right? Well that's what I thought too. Then I happened upon Eric Dishman, Intel Fellow for the Digital Health Group and Director for Health Innovation and Policy. Like many things on the internet I stumbled upon Mr. Dishman accidently while browsing through TED TV. I happened upon his address at TEDMED entitled "Take health care off the mainframe"
Before moving on, take time to watch the above 16 minute clip. It's inspired.
While our elected officials continue to bicker in Washington about the degree of reform we will have (during breaks from telling why the other side is wrong), folks like Mr. Dishman are thinking about real reform. The kind of reform that says, "Maybe the hospital (mainframe) shouldn't be the center of the healthcare universe any more." Maybe 50% (or more) of our needed care can happen at the home.
Personal, pervasive, proactive, customized care using technology available today...right in my home. Using technology together with the great minds we have in medicine we could, according to Dishman, "move 50% of care from clinics, hospitals and nursing homes to our homes.
If you don't know how...you didn't watch the above video. I suggest (again) to take some time to do that now.
I write this post as a call to a challenge on EVOKE. The challenge is to find and follow someone who is a leader in social innovation. There are many, but Dishman was the first to come to my mind. So, to learn more from him I've subscribed to his blog, his twitter feed and joined his facebook group. In the coming days I'll reach out in a more personal way and will let you know the results.
Rather than talk about reforming the current system Dishman is re-imagining healthcare. It's as if we could start healthcare from scratch today and build it anew.
We need to, and Mr. Dishman is one who is helping lead the charge.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
