Скачать или смотреть TEDMED Great Challenges: Faster Adoption of Best Practices

The Great Challenges of Health and Medicine are complex, persistent problems that have medical and non-medical causes, impact millions of lives, and affect the well-being of all of America -- beginning with patients, and extending to families and citizens everywhere.

These knotty problems are not susceptible to simple cures, magic bullets or "one-size-fits-all" solutions because they stem from broad, interlocking social, economic and psychological sources as well as from medical or scientific triggers. What's more, each challenge creates multiple, overlapping effects that may cut across all sectors of society.

The mission of TEDMED's Great Challenges Program is not to solve these complex problems. Instead, we propose to provide America and the world with an unbiased and broadly inclusive view of these challenges, incorporating thoughtful, multidisciplinary perspectives.
