Repensar el futuro de la salud y la medicina | Peter Kolchinsky | TEDxBoston Salon

Peter Kolchinsky, virólogo e inversor, analiza los puntos en que la atención médica estándar y lo que él llama atención basada en la ciencia se separan. Aborda cuatro casos: infarto, enfermedad de Alzheimer, cáncer colorrectal y accidente cerebrovascular. La charla se centra en la longevidad, la prevención y lo que los pacientes deberían exigir a la medicina. TED marcó la charla por quedar fuera de sus pautas para eventos TEDx y advierte que no es consejo médico.

• Atención estándar frente a atención basada en la ciencia
• Infarto, Alzheimer, cáncer colorrectal y accidente cerebrovascular
• Advertencia de TED: consultar a un médico antes de cambiar medicamentos

The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdf ADDITIONAL NOTES: Scientists working in the field have expressed concerns about the safety and efficacy of some new Alzheimer's medications.

When his own doctor fired him for asking too many questions, he asked bigger ones: What is the best that medicine can be? What would a scientist want for his own family? Kolchinsky found that not everything outside the guidelines is snake oil, and that some of what’s inside them has quietly fallen off-science. In this talk on longevity and prevention, he looks at four cases where “on-science” care and the standard of care part ways: heart attack, Alzheimer’s, colorectal cancer and stroke; and he asks what we should demand of medicine.

Peter served on the Board of Global Science and Technology for the National Academy of Sciences, is the author of The Entrepreneur’s Guide to a Biotech Startup, and frequently writes and speaks on the future of biotechnology innovation. Peter founded and serves as a Director of No Patient Left Behind, a non-profit advocate for healthcare reforms that would make today’s medicines affordable to patients and promote the innovation that gives all of us hope for tomorrow.
