Greetings and welcome to the weekly Exponential Medicine newsletter where we share a curated set of news stories relevant to the cutting edge and future of health and medicine and talks from prior Exponential Medicine (xMed) programs.
Tele-Empathy: How do you make someone else feel another's pain and discomfort? When physicians become patients they often develop new forms of empathy that can improve their capabilities as caregivers. In this terrific talk from xMed 2017, Yan Fossat & Alec Melkonian from Klick Labs share the importance and data behind empathy, and novel approaches they have developed, including for Parkinson's disease, to wireless transmit tremors from a patient in real time. In their xMed talk they share a moving video of identical twins (one with advanced Parkinson's) whose healthy twin now gets to experience his the symptoms and improve his understanding of his brothers condition.
