General Info
InSTEDD (Innovative Support to Emergencies Diseases and Disasters) was organized in 2006-2007 to serve as a catalyst to empower individuals and organizations by harnessing technology for more effective action in early warning, prevention and response to disasters and public health threats. The founders’ vision was an organization that would help make the world safer by making technological innovations available and accessible to humanitarian and public health organizations working to conquer complexities of some of the world's most challenging realities. InSTEDD was conceived and named by Dr. Larry Brilliant, a well-known preventive medicine and public health doctor with a strong interest in technology, who co-founded “The Well,” an early online community, and founded the Seva Foundation, whose mission is to eradicate preventable and curable blindness. These accomplishments and his significant role in the global eradication of smallpox were among the reasons he was honored with a TED Prize in 2006.
