Bringing mindfulness to healthcare | Bob McClure | TEDxSanDiegoSalon

Описание: This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. The digital medicine revolution is a convergence of information technology, medical research, and the practice of medicine. It will personalize healthcare and create incredible new tools for wellness, but it also will add a layer of complexity and technological challenge to receive care and practice medicine.

Drawing from contemplative traditions and recent scientific research, secular mindfulness and compassion skills are tools that allow us figuratively to reach inside ourselves. In a sense these tools are mirror images of the technology that shapes our everyday lives.

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)
