Medicine X is a catalyst for new ideas about the future of medicine and health care.
Medicine X is a catalyst for new ideas about the future of medicine and health care. It is also the only academic conference that reserves 10% of its spots exclusively for ePatients.
The Medicine X initiative is designed to explore the potential of social media and information technology to advance the practice of medicine, improve health, and empower patients to be active participants in their own care. The “X” is meant to evoke a move beyond numbers and trends—it represents the infinite possibilities for current and future information technologies to improve health.
Stanford Medicine X has the largest and most diverse program for patient engagement of any leading healthcare conference. Our industry-leading ePatient programs brings patients worldwide to Stanford to participate in conference planning, engage in the audience, and speak from the stage.
Healthcare providers are highly engaged by Medicine X programs, and our 2013 conference had the highest engagement of US verified physicians among the four top healthcare conferences. Our student leadership program extends this engagement to tomorrow's healthcare leaders.
Stanford's location in the heart of Silicon Valley and our rich history of innovation creates a unique opportunity to engage technologists at the nexus of emerging technologies and Medicine. Our technology discovery program is on a constant look out for the most promising digital health companies sprouting from patient- and provider-centered innovation.
Medicine X aims to connect moon shot thinking with a critical appraisal of health IT from a deeply-rooted academic perspective. As a world-renown academic medical center, Stanford University links leading researchers from around the world to evaluate the impact of emerging technologies on healthcare.
