How tech is creating new hope for epilepsy patients

As our devices become smaller, faster and cheaper, they make daily tasks more convenient -- and they can also save lives. For epilepsy patients like Andrew Ho's daughter, a typical day can bring dangerous, even fatal, challenges. Ho shares how medical devices currently under development could make it possible for people with different kinds of challenges to lead normal lives. "No longer will they feel isolated and marginalized. No longer will they live in the shadows, afraid, ashamed, humiliated and excluded," he says.
