Does osteoarthritis make a sound? | Omer Inan | TEDxAtlanta

- Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that affects 32.5 million people In the U.S. Symptoms do not manifest for many years and diagnosis comes too late to reverse the effects easily or at all. Wearables expert Omer Inan shares his vision of making joint sounds a biomarker for their health and the invention that is taking his vision one step closer to reality. Omer Inan creates medical devices and systems that improve human health and well-being. He believes that wearable technology can revolutionize healthcare by providing personalized feedback, improving diagnosis, and enhancing treatment.
A smart patch that measures fluid accumulation in the lungs of heart failure patients, a wireless device that monitors joint inflammation in arthritis patients, and a wearable system that can track muscle activity and fatigue in athletes are just some of projects powered by his research.
Omer is Professor and Linda J. and Mark C. Smith Chair in Bioscience and Bioengineering in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Adjunct Professor in the Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech.
His work has earned him numerous accolades, including an Academy Award for Technical Achievement and the IEEE Sensors Council Young Professional Award. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
My knees and many of my joints gave out when I was in my twenties. I was in severe pain for years until I was sent to a immunologist at the age of forty-one. He immediately took me off all foods that can be purchased in the supermarket except animal products. I was shocked but did as I was told. Within a couple of weeks all my joints stopped hurting. I was able to open my hands and turn taps on for the time in years. When I saw that chap again, I cried. I'd been that way for thirteen years, and he'd made me completely well. That was 30 years ago. There's nothing wrong with my joints now and I'm seventy-two.
Why we ignore? Because the doctors say it's nothing when mentioning it and treating us like a hypochondriac
EXACTLY.
yeah, come when it's worse or if you feel pain.. oh, now we can't do anything, take this expensive shot, pills to feel better for couple weeks
Exactly brother
Nope
Yes. Then I finally go to the doctor and get x-rays...days later but it's too late. The pain was 80% gone. Now, I'm stuck with 20% of that pain all the time. My knee cap sounded like I had something somewhat crunchy under it, and I couldn't bend it without my body, forcing me to remove weight from my knee. I still don't know what's wrong.
What kind of insurance would be needed to get that level of care? Imagine it would require a significant amount of money to access that type of diagnostic, let alone treatment.
And big pharma would probably control it. Argh
This is not available and is still in R&D phase.
Just live in a normal civilized country with a healthcare system
Sounds like great research. Keep up the discussion & the movement moving forward!
One of the best Ted Talks
Thats awesome. Hopefully he will use this for good.
awesome talk
Amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice speech
I'm an intermediate English learner. Thank you for your dedicated/devoted video.
You're great to come up with the idea of the sounds of the knees as an indicator. But we have never heard such kind of sound. The sound itself might be already a symptom of disorder other than indicator of health, I suppose.
Dinosaurs could've come larger/stronger over their struggle to eat/be eaten, but we seem trying hard to overeat to harass/abuse our lower body.
Im only 24 , My knees pop alot when I squat I can't seem to sit in a squatted position and get up without alot of popping, and I don't know what to do alot of my job is on the ground. Hard electrical work. I'm afraid my knees are needing some work. I would really like to get my knees looked at
We don't have doctors to call. To fix this issue, there are a lot of others to fix first. Don't blame people for not calling non-existent doctors
Turn down the volume when listening to My knees!
Por fin ya es fin de semana
do you have a video recording from when cody qualls went to tedx talk this year? if so, could you post it?
Oh.. Time to think!🤔
You go to a doctor and they say “that’s just what getting old feels like.” And send you on your way.
You could crowdsource volunteers to wear your braces to help contribute to the cataloguing process.
😮
Yes. It sounds like this: AHHH!!!
My knees only pop when stretching is neglected
It is probably the cost???
So funny that when I mentioned my knees cracking my doctor used the exact same analogy to prove the opposite point. " If your car is making a weird noise but drives perfectly you wouldn't assume it needs repair would you."
Advocate for yourself, i went to the doctor at 15 about a hip that clicks, 4 years later at now 19 y/o i went back and i’ve been diagnosed with shallow hip joints, misshapen femoral heads and damaged cartilage and a candidate for early osteoarthritis. It was only found because i went to a doctor who listened to me and i’m getting treatment soon
I don’t need this to tell me I’ve got a problem with my knees 🙃
My knees creak. Help.
My reason is, the doctor knows less than I do.
Does injury to knee also leads to osteoporosis..?
Trauma leads to earlier osteoarthritis yes.
@@veben98 thanks.. But it's bad news☹️
@@palladianwalkerkk2302 every knee will get some degree of OA anyway with age, so don't worry
از روی تامنیل ، اولش فکر کردم خیابانی اومده توی tedex😂😂😂
Was this a Ted Talk or a very long advertisement? 😅
Lookw like sand in the joint... feels like boulders in the joint.
Exercise and yoga is the key to avoiding this... movement is what helps.
Exercise is what caused my knee pain. Lots of years of lunges and jumping exercises. Trying to avoid some exercises now.
@@melissa3986 notice l said exercise and yoga(stretching) many people don't stretch which is very important. Also rest is important as you can overexert your body. Proper form is just as important and not using heavier weights then you can properly handle. I'm a personal trainer and have experience with this. Also if you think of athletes when they're rehabbing they are "exercising" or strengthening their bones/muscles and that is what fixes or repairs their body. I had bad knees before exercising and after "properly" training my knees they are much much better and don't ache like they use to. The only thing that aggravates it is when l sit too long(driving or otherwise). Notice this speaker too talked about sitting long hours). That's what does it. Our bodies are designed to be mobile.
I don’t want to minimize this guys work but frankly it’s quite normal for your knees to “crack” or have patellofemoral crepitus.
If you’re having pain then certainly see a doctor but trying to avoid arthritic changes is a challenging task. Your activity level, injury history, and genetics are the predominate factors that will determine if you need a TKA at some point. Weight management, maintaining quad tone, and ensuring you receive appropriate treatment for fractures, meniscal, and ligament injuries are the best bets to avoid developing arthritis. A simple xray and possible advanced imaging such as an MRI are very specific and useful tools for seeing degradation over time.
Does talking make You a mage? What about drugs, did You started doing them?
So what does my cracking back mean?
I think it time for you to workout🤔
Nothing
Your aching knees tell you you're getting old
Every step I take walking up stairs my ankles click, and when I mount my wife from behind with only my feet on the floor my left knee clicks with every thrust
TMI.
I think it might be your wife, I can mount her a few times and see if my ankle clicks to help you figure it out.

I hope not cancer
