TEDMED Live at 'the other song'

1. APRIL 21, 2013

2. This is an invitation – an opportunity for individuals and corporations to
become a part of TEDMED’s multi-disciplinary community of innovators and
leaders who share a common determination to create a better future in
health and medicine.

3. History of mankind is filled with astonishing leaps of imagination and invention that
have produced huge gains in our quality of life.
TEDMED is a celebration of human achievement and the power of connecting the
unconnected in creative ways to change our world in health and medicine.
TEDMED is a multi-disciplinary community of innovators and leaders
who share a common determination to create a better future in health
and medicine.
Today’s challenges in health and medicine are rooted in a complex web
of poorly understood interdependencies among social, commercial, economic,
regulatory, cultural and medical issues.
Progress against our challenges demands our best thinkers and doers from every
discipline, whether in health and medicine or not, to figure out how to connect the
seemingly unconnected.

5. Treating.Teaching. Transforming.
‘the other song’ is an integrated Homoeopathic Clinic, Training, and Research Academy
dedicated to:
• Holistic patient care and total well-being
• High-quality student-practitioner education and training
• Advanced clinical research and documentation
It is a meeting point for the best minds in homoeopathy from around the world,
supported by modern medical practioners and alternative healing therapists, that
come together to ‘the other song’ academy, a center for holistic and integrated healing.
‘the other song’ aims to provide the best quality healthcare to all its patients,
by delivering a blend of homeopathic treatment with parallel healing techniques like
yoga, meditation, music and nutrition. It believes that the future of health and medicine
will be shaped by vital input from leading medical colleges, teaching hospitals,
government agencies, and non-profit institutions around the world.
And so, in a spirit of collaboration and information sharing, we decided
to bring the first ever TEDMED Live event to India.

6. TEDMED 2013 is scheduled at the Kennedy Center, DC from 16th to 19th April 2013.
And via simulcast in affiliated auditoriums around the world.
‘the other song’ has affiliated with TEDMED to broadcast this event in Mumbai,
a first of its kind for India.
While the event will consist of talks from the TEDMED event in DC,
it will also have live talks from our own renowned Indian speakers from the
medical & healthcare industry.
