The fifth in a series created with Richard Saul Wurman, TEDMED celebrates conversations that demonstrate the intersection and connections between all things medical and healthcare related: from personal health to public health, devices to design and Hollywood to the hospital. Together, this encompasses more than twenty percent of our GNP in America while touching everyone's life around the globe.

TEDMED is about the ultimate understanding of health care, its system and products, where it's going and how we are going to get there. Join some of the world's leading minds and most creative people who are pioneering leading edge research, next generation robotics, genetic social networks, prime time medical television, artificial intelligence, health systems and records, innovative prosthetics, human longevity and so much more.

The TED MED conference will be held October 27-30 2009 at the Hotel Del Coronado on Coronado Island in San Diego, California. USA TODAY calls the Del "One of the Top 10 Resorts in the World."
