TEDMED is the independently owned and operated health and medicine edition of the world-famous TED conference, dedicated to "ideas worth spreading." TED Talks have been viewed online over two billion times around the world.
Created by TED's founder, TEDMED convenes and curates extraordinary people and ideas from all disciplines inside and outside of medicine. The result: unexpected connections that accelerate innovation in health and medicine. Best known for our annual event hosted in Washington, DC and San Francisco, CA, TEDMED is a year-round global community.
TEDMED believes that each and every one of us is in a race against time to create the lives we want for our children, for our parents, and for ourselves. TEDMED believes that our future will be transformed as the Information Revolution and Big Data collide with the Age of Biology. Genomic "programming," the rise of patient-driven health, and mobile technology will forever change the landscape.
TEDMED believes that only by creating an inclusive global dialog among people from all cultures and all walks of life, can we begin to see the "big picture" for health and medicine and begin to inspire the breakthrough thinking and insights critical to shaping a healthier tomorrow for our planet's 7 billion people.
