Our Health, Our Security, Our Choice | Sharmila Anandasabapathy, M.D. | TEDxBaylorCollegeofMedicine

What if we approached health security the way we now approach national security? What if we approached health threats the way the military prepares for potential conflict? Dr. Anandasabapathy outlines four actions that will prepare us for the next health threat and the next after that, and, in doing so, save lives, save money and insure a safer future. Sharmila Anandasabapathy, M.D. is a Professor of Medicine in Gastroenterology and Vice President of Global Health at Baylor College of Medicine. In her current role, she oversees Baylor’s global programs and affiliations and seeks to develop novel, environmentally appropriate technologies and approaches to addressing global disease burden. This includes the development and validation of innovative mobile-applications for clinical care, point-of care diagnostic technologies, and portable, low-cost devices for the diagnosis and management of chronic, non-communicable diseases worldwide. As an advanced gastrointestinal endoscopist by training, Dr. Anandasabapathy’s research focus involves the development and validation of novel technologies for diagnosis of early gastrointestinal cancer. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
