Abstract:
As the healthcare expense keeps going up, all the countries are looking for new direction and alternative medicine treatments, especially for chronic conditions that the current healthcare approach can’t treat well. Per Stanford Medical School, Chinese Medicine counts for ~90% of so-called “alternative medicine”. But, what is Chinese Medicine? Is it for real or placebo effect? What is the “scientific logic” behind Chinese Medicine? How can technology help Chinese Medicine as it did for Western Medicine? In this speech, Dr. Lee will first share his experience and observation, and then have an open discussion with the audience on the combination of Chinese Medicine and modern technology.
