Robert Fischell on medical inventing

Robert Fischell on medical inventing. “Accepting his 2005 TED Prize, inventor Robert Fischell makes three wishes: redesigning a portable device that treats migraines, finding new cures for clinical depression and reforming the medical malpractice system. Robert Fischell invented the rechargeable pacemaker, the implantable insulin pump, and devices that warn of epileptic seizures and heart attacks. Yet it’s not just his inventive genius that makes him fascinating, but his determination to make the world a better place.”
