Geo-medicine: Your health may depends on where you live



Where you live: It impacts your health as much as diet and genes do, but it's not part of your medical records. At TEDMED, Bill Davenhall shows how overlooked government geo-data (from local heart-attack rates to toxic dumpsite info) can mesh with mobile GPS apps to keep doctors in the loop. Call it "geo-medicine."

    Thanks for posting that. With all the craze for geo-location it's interesting to see it being used in medicine.
