im a univ student, the 5th year of bachelor. after watching this video, i have more much stronger interest on medical × technology(engineering)!! making me so motivative! thank you!
I would like to applaud Dr. Kraft on an engaging, and focused lecture about future healthcare possibilities. The one area that he fixated on the most, was when he was talking about how cellphone apps could greatly improve communication between doctors and their patients. If a person cannot leave their homes to go get a diagnosis, but an app could connect them to a doctor immediately, I too, see the opportunities this could serve the communities. To show the beneficence of Dr. Kraft's proposal, a healthcare system that is able to connect you with a doctor, and that doctor comes to see you, is a healthcare system that would be supported the most. Again, beneficence is about the action someone takes to benefit another, and I think at least considering this notion for mobile technology-based communication with doctors could prove to be rewarding.
It's fun way of learning english by watching dr. Kraft's mindblowing speech, especially for me who work in typical "urban" area in which those technologies were too unimaginable..
The reality is medicine began in 1944, antibiotics became widely available, before that all a doctor could do was observe and report. Today a doctor many times can't even get this right (prescription of antibiotics for right duration). The future of medicine will have to be prevention, diet, exercise, no smoking, reduced Alcohol consumption. 72 percent of patients are patients due to life style choices.
All the research and innovation is done to generate PROFIT and CONTROL and not so much for keeping people healthy. Let's use our brain: They are talking about overpopulation and killing/oppressing real doctors like Dr. Sebi. Just my two cents.
I think that Daniel Kraft makes some great points in his speak, starting off with referring to our health care system as more of a “sick care” system. The fact of the matter is that Kraft is right, more often than not people only go to the doctors when something is wrong. At that point something is already wrong and it is going to take more effort and more resources and more money to fix it all. Why don't people go to the doctors ever when they are seemingly healthy, that way it would be a preventative stop, to just make sure everything is the way it should be and nothing is starting to go wrong. That would save everyone a ton of trouble in the long run, and could even save your life. Onto the more overwhelming portion of Kraft’s speech, it is very hard to believe that there are these amazing, unbelievable technologies out there. To be able to track all of those things in your body on your own, with no doctors help seems a bit scary. With the ability to play doctor on your own I feel as if it is going to get out of hand really quickly. Kraft is essentially proposing that the only reason that doctors and patients would ever come into contact with each other again would only be for surgeries. I mean why else would anyone need to drive to a doctors office when they could just FaceTime their physician and have all appointments over smart phones. In that sense of thinking about it, would all physical therapy, rehabilitation, and other doctor run offices be shut down other than a building with strictly operating rooms? Another thing to worry about is the idea that everyones personal data is going to out there for the world to see, on display even when you wouldn't want it to be. With every little thing being tracked there is no sense of privacy to comfort any individual any more. People that would take this technology and spin it to record all of the wrong things would have no trouble accessing everything because there’s no barrier stopping anyone from looking up whatever they needed to know.
Superb analogy.We have adopted so many techs without even realizing. There is a gene sequencer for the mobile phone already. Its made by Oxford Nanopore. Costs a few hundred dollars. Can sequence your entire genome.
Mr. Kraft speaks about how our healthcare is set up and how we can go about by fixing it. Mr. Kraft tells us about medical advancements and how they could or already have affected us. The first thing he specifically mentions is how our system is basically broken. He says our system is broken because we designed it to help us when we are sick. He says it should be there when needed, but designed to keep us healthy and not get sick in the first place.Our medical system is extremely reactive. Reactive meaning when someone comes in the doctors are there to help them. Some examples are when someone comes in with a stroke, heart attack, or cancer, we react and then treat the disease (if possible). Our healthcare is also very intermittent and expensive. The patients have to wait for their blood pressure, EKG results, or even lab result test. All of these are ingredients to the patient having to pay more out of their pocket. One of the most important parts of healthcare is actually relatively old. The fax machine is used in basically all hospitals in today era. It is used mainly in the healthcare field to write prescriptions for patients. We are trying to move more towards online charting to decrease the time it takes to find a patients chart and make things more simple all together. The system of healthcare has a broken loop in it as well. This broken loop is also in the way that information is given to patients. The loop starts with an action, moves to a reaction, then to a modifier, and then repeats. There is also the time factor of having to see a doctor. Many times it takes a patient an average of at least fifteen minutes to get seen by a doctor or other healthcare specialist. This process is non-beneficial for both the patient and the doctor. It is non beneficial for the doctor because most doctors are rewarded by the amount of patients they see and not by how well they treat their patients. Then for the patients they could be in the doctor’s office for an hour to be in the examination room for just fifteen minutes.This system needs to be more proactive and continuous rather than reactive and intermittent. We can do this by putting more autonomy with the patient. We can do this by intertwining many different aspects into the technology of today. For instance there is an app where you can set up an appointment with a doctor or other healthcare professional to see them when they are available. When they are available it will notify you and then you can video chat with the doctor and explain the problem you are experiencing. Then off of your explanation the doctor can email you a prescription (if necessary) and give you a diagnoses on what they believe the problem might be. This simple process can save the patient and doctor a significant amount of time. Another factor of why we should change the system of healthcare is that most of the money going to the healthcare system is going into reimbursement based medicine. This system is basically bringing many countries towards bankruptcy. The United States of America happens to be using eighty percent of their money towards this reimbursement based medicine (which happens to be higher than any other country). The system should be funding evidence based medicine.This switch could save many countries a significant amount of money that they could be putting towards other investments in the healthcare system. So going back to how technology could change our system drastically, by putting the power in the hands of the patient. There are many things that technology has done to change the game of how things are being handled in everyday life. Mobile phones are able to message an Uber, order your food before your arrival with details included, order items online, and even as mentioned before; contact your doctor or specialist face to face. All we have to do is reimagine our healthcare system and change a few ways we go about some different things. Although since we are changing the system there are some things that should be pointed out. One of the more obvious ones is that everyone should exercise and try to maintain a healthy lifestyle. With this many technologies can help improve several aspects of it and help us understand exactly what is going on. There are headbands that you can wear that help to show you whether or not you are getting enough sleep every night. Then if you aren’t getting enough sleep then it will give you solutions on how to fix this. Along with telling you the effects that could come from not getting enough sleep. There are also armbands that connect to your phones that will tell you your oxygen level, heart rate, steps taken, calories burned, and even whether or not you are laying down or standing up.With all of this information it helps to make the patient more autonomous. Autonomy should be something that is focused on in healthcare for patients. All because of the things it can do for doctors and patients as previously listed. So will you join the technological generation or stay in the slow moving past? What would you do if you had a chance to go to the doctor’s office or stay at home and talk to them in your pajamas?
Hey Jacob, healthcare is certainly advancing at a rapid rate and are emerging from the technology we now possess. Each and every day healthcare is making greater and greater strides in the world of technology. I believe that we are beginning to develop different ways to use this advancement and create a whole new age of medicine in which we are all sharing information and we can allow the digital age to take over. Although, I do think that with all this information that will become readily available may result in some push back from those we are not as acceptable of the technological movement. It could of course change how fast these new changes will move. Although, since we live in a Capitalist society it will not stop those who promote innovation because they can get revenue for their ideas through kick starter programs. It is a new age where anything is possible if you just have way to make things easier in the healthcare system then you can do it and create the change you are seeing in the world. We are becoming more and more proactive and less reactive in the way that we are now developing ways to prevent things before they even happen. And the idea of converting from reactive to proactive is so important because it means we are able to see things before they happen and allow us to be more aware of what data can do and show us. It is amazing that we can take advantage of the technology that is already there and we can re-imagine it become something new and brilliant. We are already in an age where technology is taking leaps in and bounds in its seemingly endless possibilities. You can think of this change like a web that is all interconnected and everything you find will relate to something else. You can create a world run by technology which is what we are on the precipice of something amazing. It is almost unreal to imagine a world where we can have a doctors appointment in or living room. Even more shocking are the investment in wearable and tech that is used on the inside. Such as google glasses used in the OR to keep an eye on the patients stats. It is simply incredible to be a part of the generation making such innovated changes to society that will benefit the greater good. If we just focus on reinventing or re-imagining the way that healthcare is setup then we can begin to build upon the pinnacle of medical technology. Overall, we can expect to see great things emerging in the healthcare system and the medical field.
@@justindale8409 Great comments from both of you. My only concern as a medical student and future doctor is about todays old fashioned doctors and healthcare mafia who is running all the medical system in my country ( Serbia ). They will not let you promote your innovations and these future stuff because they will lose interest in it. They will lose their money they get from people coming in to them. Do you have any suggestion where should i start to innovate and promote and maybe event start some of future medicine things going. Do you think all this is possible to do in these poorly developed countries?
@@justindale8409 The problem with this technology will be accuracy and eventually durability. Every time it fails, someone will get killed and at the end, the patient still need to pay.
@@daisyjara9058 I completely agree. There is a large risk when it comes to technology failing. There is also a large risk to using and relying on evidence based medicine. Evidence based medicine is not always the answer - this is what I find Dr. Kraft talking about, he states that the combination of evidence based medicine and technology improvements are the future of healthcare. He says that improving technology in other fields like uber or travel apps can apply to the medical field. I believe this would not necessarily work, medicine is so unique in that it is constantly changing, we are constantly learning and patients continue to present differently with similar diagnoses. Medicine should not be "streamlined" as he says. We are forgetting the individualism - in that everyone should be treated specifically to their own needs and the way they react to treatment. What could be occurring is actually non-maleficence. How do we outweigh the risks with benefits of one patient to the next when they are being "streamlined" and put within the scope of a study? Where do we draw the line when it comes to relying on evidence based medicine especially in the realm of psychiatry? Many people have PTSD but their triggers are so different and they will respond to treatment differently, especially over time.
The next breakthrough will come when people start uploading their genome sequence along with their disease profile...and then computers and AI scanning millions and billions of genomes to come to a precise location of genes to target and fix. WOW !!
We just need to convince the public that this will be beneficial to them to gains all the data. The AI can do the rest. I dont understand why this wouldn't be a thing if the data is beneficial and the whole process is cheap enough to become viable for countries to implement.
I believe that preventative medicine should have a major role in medicine today but I understand its limitations. For example, a woman is tested for a gene that makes her prone to breast cancer and the test resulted in a positive. The women had a 50% chance of developing cancer yet she had no symptoms and was completely healthy. She wants to undergo a preventative mastectomy so she does not have to worry about cancer. Her insurance needs more of a reason than the test to rationalize the surgery. The patient has no way to pay for the surgery out of pocket. Is it ethical for the doctor to tell the insurance company that they are performing the surgery to stop cancer even though the patient is healthy? Not only is the question, ethically based, it is also financially driven. Who is going to pay for each person with a chance of cancer to get a surgery? An interesting way to invoke preventative healthcare would be to try and change the values of the people. By this I mean that by changing a child’s attitude toward sports or physical activity, we could shape a child that values their physical wellbeing. How one would do this without forcing the child or the parent to do something they don’t want to do is another story. Likewise, is it ethical to force patients to undergo preventative healthcare because it will save the general public money in the long run in medical expenses? New York recently tried to stop the sale of sugary drinks over a certain size in an effort to confront the upcoming epidemic of obesity. Some people consider it wrong because people are limited on what they can and cannot buy however consumers are not limited; they can buy the same amount of soda but it is simply harder. They will now have to buy three sodas instead of one large one. Many people are still against the idea but what is the difference between this and taxing tobacco? The purpose of the high taxes was twofold. It was to generate revenue for the government and make it more burdening to buy tobacco. I understand that there is a difference between taxing tobacco and restricting the size of a person’s drink but the idea behind both is the same. Eventually the courts overturned New York’s Soda ban as a restriction of people’s rights. It would be interesting to see what taxing sugar rich fatty foods and using the revenue to discount nutritional foods would do. I understand that eventually enough people could move to nutritional foods that the money to supplement the cost would have to come from somewhere other than fast food. Insurance companies could also aid in preventive care by supplementing the cost of healthy food which could in turn save them money in obesity related medical expenses.
Joshua, You seem to be an intelligent dude, but it appears to me that you're suffering from a disease called "letting your smartness outsmart your common sense!" lol! First of all, your first mistake is that you're basing your understanding as well as your recommendations on a statist, nanny state, top down, sheeple mentality instead of from a standpoint of individual rights, individual responsibilities and personal accountability, a bottom up approach, which is the only way to truly bring about "change." In other words, when it comes to government intervention and intrusion into healthcare, including "funds," LESS IS MORE!
What if , what if what if , lets talk about thing that developed and is in the market right now , what is it good for , where we get it, how much is it .
Agreed, today's "sickcare" needs to become more preventative and regenerative. We can help people maintain and restore their health by treating aging via rejuvenation biotech, SENS Research Foundation and even Google are working on this with. Join the Healthspan Hub advocacy live chat (discord.gg/ftSbffu) if you're just curious, or want to make a difference in the world.
Anything that reduces the amount of interaction between patients/sheeple and doctors/quacks can only reduce healthcare costs and improve the overall health of our nation. In fact, if we were to dismantle our entire healthcare system and for the most part reject "modern/western medicine," we would see no overall negative impact, yet save a ton of money.
Unfortunately most of it will only add to the cost of healthcare..no company is going to give it for free..all silicon valley people are here for the money...they would patent the air we breathe if they could.
I am a fat fuck, I am not going to exercise. I'd rather have a pill that will get rid of my fat and diabeties than a computer telling me to eat healthy and run for an hour...

it is helpful to distinguish myths from the facts. Thanks for sharing this video

How many of these inventions are actually being used today and benefiting society? Trying to mention something like this for a paper I’m writing.
Great Points for 2021
Great info. We are also spiritual beings.
But all these reasults of any diagnostic evaluation not proper at every situation... this is the issue
How can you fix this ?
The next breakthrough will come when people start uploading their genome sequence along with their disease profile...and then computers and AI scanning millions and billions of genomes to come to a precise location of genes to target and fix.
WOW !!
We just need to convince the public that this will be beneficial to them to gains all the data. The AI can do the rest. I dont understand why this wouldn't be a thing if the data is beneficial and the whole process is cheap enough to become viable for countries to implement.
Yes.....Mayur...but we won't necessarily have the tech to fix the Genome,...until we're directly by the AI first. This is 5-10 years away thus far.

Good talk but a bit long. Makes you think about how you can improve your health through prevention
Agreed, today's "sickcare" needs to become more preventative and regenerative. We can help people maintain and restore their health by treating aging via rejuvenation biotech, SENS Research Foundation and even Google are working on this with. Join the Healthspan Hub advocacy live chat (discord.gg/ftSbffu) if you're just curious, or want to make a difference in the world.
Anything that reduces the amount of interaction between patients/sheeple and doctors/quacks can only reduce healthcare costs and improve the overall health of our nation. In fact, if we were to dismantle our entire healthcare system and for the most part reject "modern/western medicine," we would see no overall negative impact, yet save a ton of money.

Unfortunately most of it will only add to the cost of healthcare..no company is going to give it for free..all silicon valley people are here for the money...they would patent the air we breathe if they could.
I am a fat fuck, I am not going to exercise. I'd rather have a pill that will get rid of my fat and diabeties than a computer telling me to eat healthy and run for an hour...
