THE FUTURE OF MEDICINE
FRIDAY - C1 - LESSON ONE
INFINITY WEEK
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
WATCH THIS VIDEO -
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
WHAT IS A ‘TRICORDER’?
Discuss with a partner....
Is this something you think could actually work?
Are we beginning to see things like this happening now?
Would this be called an ‘innovation’?
(10 MINS)
LET’S LOOK AT THE TOP 10 INNOVATIVE IDEAS AND WHEN THEY WERE FOUNDED......
Work with a partner or small group to research one of these and share your findings with the rest of the class.
(10 minutes to discuss what each one means, 30 minutes to research)
