From Smartwatches to AI: The Future of Healthcare | Dr Jake Batuhan | TEDxBritishSchoolManila
A patient walks into the ER with nothing more than a high heart rate reading from his smartwatch. It turns out he’s having a mild heart attack. That moment changed how Dr. Jake Batuhan saw wearable technology forever.In this talk, Dr. Batuhan shows how wearables, telemedicine, and artificial intelligence are opening new doors in healthcare—from spotting problems early to bringing specialist care to the most remote communities.Through real patient stories, pressing global health challenges, and lessons from his own journey, Dr. Batuhan paints a picture of a future where care is proactive, accessible, and deeply human. Dr. Jake Batuhan is a proud alumnus of the British School Manila and a graduate of the Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health (MD/MBA). His work explores the intersection of clinical practice, technology, and business to decentralize healthcare and expand its reach across underserved populations.A firm believer in embracing the unknown - true to this year’s “UncharTED” theme - Dr. Batuhan has spearheaded a range of forward-thinking projects, including telemedicine platforms that bring care to remote communities and AI-driven solutions designed to streamline diagnosis and patient monitoring. His ongoing advocacy for innovative, accessible health systems has been recognized through various research grants and partnerships with nonprofits, tech startups, and academic institutions.
