Asthma.

Asthma attack?

An asthma attack.

Where is this mountain of metal coming from?

I had an asthma attack.

It's no wonder that you have asthma.

What 17yearold has fatal asthma?

People spend over 90 percent of their lives indoors.

No, you see, asthma is an inherited condition.

He needs his asthma stuff.

For example, eye drops. Another example is inhalation, actually breathing in a medication.

I'm Naomi Shah, and today I'll be talking to you about my research involving indoor air quality and asthmatic patients.

Very similar statistic for childhood cancer in the U.S.

I'll call her.

So I want you to imagine that you're in Julie's shoes, or someone who's really close to you who suffers from asthma or another lung disorder.

At first, I just wanted to figure out which of these four pollutants have the largest negative health impact on the lung health of asthmatic patients.

My daughter often had asthma attacks when she was a child.

There's a lot of mistakes to be made out there, and the immune system makes them.

So it's a brutal winter in the Northeast, your kid has asthma, your heat just got turned off, and of course you're in the waiting room of the ER, because the cold air triggered your child's asthma.

Now, the last thing that I want to talk to you about is care customization, because if you've got care anywhere and you've got care networking, those are going to go a long way towards improving our health care system, but there's still too much guesswork.

You're evil, you're asthmatic, you're a robot... And what is the cape for?

80 to 90 percent of their time was spent on five things.

When was the last time that you picked up a newspaper and the headline was, Boy dies of Asthma?

Yeah. You know, patient care, doctoring, C.T. scan.

Now there's really three pillars of this personal health I want to talk to you about now, and it's care anywhere, care networking and care customization.

Why do you care?

Which is surprising to me, because these chemical pollutants, through my research,

This is when I was in Texas.

Besides, I just need a little TLC.

This one is a third lung, a pharmaceutical device for long term asthma treatment.

He panted under a heavy load.

If the average age of your population is 30, then the average kind of disease that you have to treat is maybe a broken ankle every now and again, maybe a little bit of asthma.

We're trying to help build a social network that can help track and train the care of seniors caring for themselves as well as the care provided by their family members or volunteer community health workers, as well as have an exchange network online, where, for example, I can donate three hours of care a day to your mom, if somebody else can help me with transportation to meals, and we exchange all of that online.

MB Simple solutions to complex problems.

Concerns?

I did not have a heart problem. I had an overdose problem.

Likewise, if women smoke during their pregnancy, their children will grow up to have a greater chance of developing asthma.

And so many of these diseases, like asthma and certain kinds of cancers, are on the increase around places where our filthy toxic waste is dumped.

So these three pillars of personal health, care anywhere, care networking, care customization, are happening in pieces now, but this vision will completely fail if we don't step up as caregivers and as patients to take on new roles.

Now the second example of customization and by the way, you can't customize care if you don't know your own goals, so health care can't know those until you know your own health care goals.

They're gonna care?

40 percent of our coronary artery disease patients in our communities receive incomplete or inappropriate care.

So, there you have some free advice from one of the most beautiful women on earth.
