Daniel Kraft: Medicine's future? There's an app for that

At TEDxMaastricht, Daniel Kraft offers a fast-paced look at the next few years of innovations in medicine, powered by new tools, tests and apps that bring diagnostic information right to the patient's bedside.

This video highlights the current state of mobilization in medicine and it's impact on education. I believe mobilization is reshaping teaching, learning, and workforce development and changes will continue to occur at a faster and faster rate. As Kraft states, we are in an "era of miniaturization, decentralization, and personalization" and I believe this has a significant role in the future of education.

Please take the time to view this video! If you ever had any doubts about the impact of mobilization in education then you need to watch this video! (Thanks to June Weis at SREB for sharing the video!)
