Description:The purpose of the design track is to provide an opportunity for epatients to serve as the inspiration and nexus of a patient-centered design project facilitated by the health and wellness team at IDEO. Besides providing a patient voice to the proceedings, scholars will help share and disseminate the knowledge to educate and inspire others. Selection Criteria: We are interested in receiving applications from patients who are passionate about adding the patient voice to the process of solving health care problems. Patients should have experience in managing a chronic disease and use technology to help facilitate their own care. Successful applicants will be able to articulate why their chronic medical problem needs thoughtful problem solvers and design thinkers to help improve their care. The successful applicant will then work with an IDEO designer to draft a problem statement that will become the focus of the Stanford Medicine X Design challenge. The winning team will have the opportunity to present their work from the Medicine X main stage.
Participation in the design track requires sharing your personal story and working with an IDEO designer between March 15 and April 15, 2013 to develop a problem statement for the Stanford Medicine X | IDEO design challenge workshop. You must agree to participate in the Medicine X | IDEO Design Challenge workshop, work with an IDEO designer to develop a problem statement, and present your project to the challenge jury and (if selected) on the Medicine X main stage.

Scholars will be paired with leadership mentors (epatients who have attended a previous Medicine X conference), lead epatient activities and help share and disseminate the knowledge they learn to further educate and inspire others.
Selection Criteria: Successful applicants will demonstrate a history of patient engagement and community outreach and advocacy, with preference for individuals using emerging technologies such as blogs, Twitter, and social media to pursue these goals. Successful applicants should demonstrate leadership potential and articulate how they would use a leadership position in the epatient community to advance their specific goals and objectives.
The leadership track is a two-year opportunity designed to nurture a new generation of ePatient leaders engaged in the use of health information technologies to empower peer-to-peer healthcare, participatory medicine and patient-centered care. We ask for applicants to commit to attending two consecutive years of Medicine X (2013 and 2014).
Financial scholarships are intended to support ePatient scholarship recipients with the greatest financial need. Note that partial and full scholarships to Medicine X will be awarded. Partial scholarships reduce the registration fee to $199 in total for the three conference days. Full scholarships cover the entire registration amount. Separate financial assistance may be available for travel expenses and lodging costs.
The Medicine X ePatient Advisory Board recognizes that situations may suddenly change, and given adequate notice and reason, the Advisory Board will work with scholarship recipients to ensure recipients are able to attend the conference.
