Can a teddybear change how children relate to their own disease? | Aaron Horowitz | TED Institute

Aaron Horowitz wants to empower some of the most vulnerable individuals - children fighting for their health - in the struggle against their own disease. He believes the solution is play. He creates smart toys that give children fun ways to engage with, understand and communicate their health - transforming how they and their families relate to their disease and each other.

TED@IBM was a TED-curated event showcasing speakers from across the IBM community. Produced in partnership with IBM, the event brought to light the often-overlooked. Examining social structures and sustainable approaches, TED@IBM explored the necessity of invention to build a better world.
