Channel: TEDx Talks
Date: 2014-05-27

No field is more technologically sophisticated, yet less connected than the field of Medicine. In this innovative talk, Dr. Richard Pan proposes a way to change this. By outfitting people with devices to unobtrusively monitor their health, Dr. Pan believes we can detect and prevent health crises before they land people in the hospital.

Dr. Richard Pan is a physician and educator who has dedicated his life to serving his community. As a pediatrician, he cares primarily for poor and unisured children. As a teacher, he taught future physicians the importance of community in health. Dr. Pan has been a catalyst for positive change in the community by creating innovative educational programs, expanding access to healthcare for children, and bringing people together to address community priorities. He believes in creating opportunity for all Californians to succeed.  

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

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.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
