Medicine X is a conference designed to engage all stakeholders to improve healthcare at the intersection of emerging technologies. The Stanford AIM lab has created a series of new technologies and online challenges designed to ignite interaction between guests using our unique QR-coded badges that are tied to our Medicine X website.
