On Doctors 2.0 & You
One of the best things about Doctors 2.0 & You is the wonderful people in attendance. Denise is a wonderful conference curator, and she seems to perfectly navigate the balance of science and practice, and of business and technology. Of course, the palpable presence of ePatients and participatory medicine advocates in attendance is one of the truly unique aspects of Doctors 2.0 & You, and one of the common threads that tie Stanford Medicine X and Doctors 2.0 & You so closely together.
In Paris at Doctors 2.0 & You
What can be more wonderful than Paris in the Springtime? Attending Denise Silber’s outstanding Doctors 2.0 & You conference in Paris in the Springtime! I’ve brought three of our Medicine X team members to Paris to take in the amazing sessions that are only available at Doctors 2.0 & You. Anna Clemenson, Matt Erlendson and John Sun will be helping me bring you a taste of these offerings.
We have a very special relationship with Doctors 2.0 & You, and they are our exclusive partner conference in Europe. We look forward to sharing some insights from the European digital health community with our Medicine X family. More soon!

Keeping it real
By the end of last year’s Medicine X conference, I had lost my voice.
An amazing, dedicated, but very small staff of young people work together with me each year to make the magic of Medicine X happen. Too many late nights and too little sleep had taken their toll on me. On Saturday September 29th, I was busy trying to help our engineers figure out why some of the main stage lights were flickering (turned out it was interference from additional wifi nodes we had installed to boost connectivity for the hundreds of laptops and iPads in use). We were deep in conversation when a flash of crimson appeared on the main stage.
It was Regina Holliday.
