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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    @@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.
