Dr. Topol envisions the future of individualized medicine in the age of homo digitus. As technology evolves, the average person will have access to an array of health monitoring devices once available only to the medical community. In addition to thermometers and aspirin, our home medicine cabinets will soon include hand-held devices that monitor sleep patterns and heart rates.

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.)
