About This Collection

The sustainability category of health and wellness is both wide and deep. In this special collection our intention is to highlight voices of sustainability that are often lost in the sea of advertising by pharmaceutical and insurance companies for products and services. The information found on this site is not intended as recommendations for cures or a change in medical protocols, but, rather, an emphasis on innovative and fresh perspectives and ideas affecting the health and wellness of our citizens. Critical thinking, vision, and values are emphasized here on EarthSayers.

Take health care off the mainframe by Eric Dishman

At TEDMED, Eric Dishman made a bold argument: the US healthcare system mirrors 1959 computing, tethered to large, centralized systems like hospitals and nursing homes. He stressed that with an aging population boom, a fundamental shift is imperative.

Dishman advocates for creating personal, networked, home-based healthcare accessible to all. As an Intel Fellow and director of health innovation and policy for Intel's Digital Health Group, his vision emphasizes a crucial transformation for the future of health.
