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.
“Advances in technology are making it possible for people with different kinds of challenges and problems to lead normal lives. And when that happens, our world will be a much more diverse and inclusive place, a better place for all of us to live.”

Transformation begins with the spark of something new.
In 2018, TED and DuPont began a partnership to do just that: TRANSFORM. As the world and our interactions grow more complex, so do our challenges. To solve for modern problems, we decided to pursue a new framework for innovation itself, one that considers all perspectives and outcomes in the calculus. This inaugural TED@DuPont event signifies a monumental step to unlock the institutional knowledge within the organization and showcase the New DuPont. Taking place in September 2019, at The Fillmore in Philadelphia, the day’s topics ranged from science, technology, and beyond. Photo: Ryan Lash / TED
