Medicine's Next Great Breakthrough | Leonard D'Avolio | TEDxNewBedford

In this TEDx talk Dr. Leonard D'Avolio, Harvard Medical School Assistant Professor & CEO of predictive analytics company Cyft, explains why healthcare is 30+ years behind other industries when it comes to using data, the transformative potential of data in healthcare, and why data is now finally changing healthcare for the better.

Dr. D’Avolio has spent the last dozen years working to make data our most valuable resource for improving healthcare. He’s done so as an Assistant Prof at Harvard Med School & Brigham and Women’s Hospital, a Director at the Department of Veterans Affairs, a Director at Ariadne Labs, the co-founder and CEO of Cyft, as an advisor to several healthcare related non-profits, researcher, and writer. He showed that real time data feedback can save the lives of babies and mothers in Uttar Pradesh, India despite average incomes of just over a dollar a day with 60k interventions and counting.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
