What if you could see your doctor without going to the doctor? | Justin Kahn | TEDxSaltLakeCity


This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Technology is transforming every facet of our lives, but Justin would argue that healthcare is a little behind the times in this regard. In his talk, he offers viewers stories of healthcare being offered across oceans through new technological means and how it's changing lives.
An entrepreneur at heart, Justin has a knack for recognizing a need, creating innovative solutions and rallying a team of people who share a similar vision around the cause. He has been the driving force of TruClinic since it was merely a concept, and has successfully guided the company from development, to pilot, to rollout and scale. His goal for the company is pretty simple: make telemedicine available to everyone. Justin is passionate about social entrepreneurship and the belief that a company can provide for the social good while still having an economically successful business. He views TruClinic as an opportunity to impact the world in a positive way by making healthcare more accessible, and that is what gets him out of bed in the morning. He has been recognized for his work with TruClinic by Utah Business Magazine’s 40 Under 40 list in 2011 and was also nominated as a HIMSS H.I.T. Game Changer for the Innovators, Up and Coming category in 2014.
