[/overlay]Compassion & Choices
Barbara Coombs Lee is president of Compassion & Choices, the nation's oldest and largest nonprofit organization working to improve care and expand choice at the end of life. Previously, she had a 25-year career as a nurse and physician assistant, during which she often cared for terminally ill patients. She attended many patients who suffered through fruitless procedures and prolonged stays in intensive care. As an emergency room and intensive care nurse, she was obligated to perform many painful and pointless interventions on dying patients.Those unforgettable experiences drove her to pursue a career in law and health policy, and to devote her professional life to individual choice and empowerment in healthcare. As a private attorney, counsel to an Oregon State Senate committee and a managed-care executive, she has championed initiatives that allow individuals a full range of choices and much more agency in their healthcare decisions.Within the Oregon Senate Healthcare and Bioethics committee in 1991, Barbara assisted State Senator Frank Roberts in his advocacy for one of the first aid-in-dying laws in the nation. Unfortunately, the committee never approved the bill, and Roberts died of prostate cancer in 1993, suffering the kind of slow, painful death his bill sought to help people avoid.In 1994 Barbara co-authored and became one of three chief petitioners for the Oregon Death with Dignity Act. She served as spokesperson through two statewide campaigns and spent 10 years defending the nation’s first Death with Dignity law against attacks in both the judicial and legislative arenas.In 2008, Barbara was senior advisor for the Washington State Death with Dignity ballot initiative voters approved by an 18-point margin, whereupon Washington became the second state to permit aid in dying. In 2009, the Montana Supreme Court ruled in the landmark case brought by Compassion & Choices (Baxter v. Montana) it is not against the state’s public policy for a physician to provide aid in dying to a mentally competent, terminally ill adult. Compassion & Choices defeated bills in Montana that would have voided their Supreme Court ruling in 2011 and imprisoned doctors for providing aid in dying in 2013. Under her leadership Compassion successfully pushed the California End of Life Option Act in 2015.Barbara has been interviewed by all leading media outlets. She has testified before the U.S. Congress. She has spoken in hundreds of venues over the past twenty-five years. She is a seasoned traveler and tireless firebrand. She studied literature and nursing at Vassar College and Cornell University, and earned advanced degrees in law and medicine from the University of Washington and Lewis & Clark College. Barbara is a member of the Oregon State Bar.

[/overlay]CEO of Cryerhealth, Chair of American Liver Foundation
As a blogger (DCpatient), a member of the Society for Participatory Medicine, chair of the board of the American Liver Foundation, and CEO of CryerHealth, I communicate virtually and in-person with thousands of patients, patient advocates, and providers in disease states I am personally living with—ulcerative colitis, liver transplantation, infertility, autoimmune manifestations (arthritis, eczema)—and those I advise—cancer, kidney disease, chronic wounds. I have been recognized by the FDA, ONC, and patient associations as a leader on the e-patient space and take that role and commitment seriously to elevate the voice and perspective of patients throughout healthcare. I want to immerse myself in innovative thinking and innovative people who are committed to transforming the role of patients in health and health care by changing thoughts, attitudes, technology, design, and systems. I want to learn about new approaches and new solutions to challenges of patients, caregivers, and providers sharing with the many organizations and emerging companies with whom I interact. Of particular interest are strategies to encourage physician and health system adoption of new technologies and ways to link patient generated data and technologies to EMRs and the health system work stream. Each one of us can use our own self-care and educate our own physicians to create a ripple effect that changes the entire system. Consider how may providers and practices a complex patient interacts with. These are all opportunities to reform the system. By organizing your information and translating your story, you can redefine the patient-provider relationship. I’m interested in focusing on the solutions to health care problems, and this starts by thinking globally and acting locally.

Dr. Naranbaatar Dashdorj (ND) is a Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board at the Onom Foundation. ND hails from very humble beginnings. He was born and raised at the southwestern outskirt of Mongolia known as Gobi-Altay province, where the Altay Mountains border with the bare rock covered desert basins of the Gobi. Because of the unique upbringing, ND has a profound commitment for making a tangible difference in lives of fellow Mongols. At the same time, he strongly believes that entrepreneurship is the best vehicle for making a difference. He started his first successful venture in college, from which he earned enough money to pay for expenses of graduate education in the United States. After completing his graduate studies, ND ventured back into entrepreneurship in 2008, experimenting a model of subsidizing philanthropic actions by a certain percentage of equity and profits of a for-profit company. In parallel with entrepreneurial activities, ND pushed the frontiers in scientific arena using ultrafast optical spectroscopy and time-resolved x-ray imaging techniques at the leading scientific institutions including the US National Institutes of Health and Argonne National Laboratory. In fact, ND became a faculty member at the Argonne National Laboratory, one of the U.S. Department of Energy’s largest and oldest national laboratories for science and engineering research in 2010. He published nearly 20 original manuscripts in prominent, peer-reviewed scientific journals, such as the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States. These articles are widely referred in scientific literature. In addition, he designed and built several state-of-the-art experimental systems that was used to discover functional kinetics and dynamics in proteins at an unprecedented level. Despite his successes in scientific research, he gave up his academic career in 2013 to pursue his entrepreneurial dreams since he truly believed that he can make a tangible difference via entrepreneurship. He obtained a Ph.D. in Physics from Purdue University in 2006 and Master of Science in Management from the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University in 2014.

I'm an electrical and electronics engineer graduated in 2007 from Bilkent University with full scholarship. After I have completed my MS degree in 2010 from Bogazici University Biomedical Institute, I have started my own start-up. My start-up company "Durmaz Technology" has been founded in 2011. We are dealing with developing x-ray systems both on medical and industrial sides. Our goal is to design more reliable, low dose, high quality x-ray systems, with advanced image processing and decision algorithms. We have currently 3 patent requests, and several articles about the work we have done. I'm currently a PhD student at Bogazici University Biomedical Engineering Department, currently working on developing new x-ray systems and technologies. Our startup, Durmaz Technology with D-Tech & DDRLine brands, was founded in 2010. In this short period of time, due to successful administration and partnerships, we have won several national funds and state grants. By these financial supports we have accomplished medical and industrial x-ray imaging devices. As an outcome at the moment our R&D budget is over a million dollar. On the medical side, we have developed a Portable Dental X-Ray system with very low radiation dosage, and a multiple energy direct x-ray system which provides very detailed anatomical information about the human mouth. Our industrial x-ray device automatically detects and classifies variety of errors and defects (welding, connections, layer shifting etc.) in real time. During my career I have visited USA several times. First one was in 2005 for a 3 months internship in NYC. I have dealt with construction projects. In 2009 I work as a part of a medical project (which also happens to my master thesis) in NIH Heart & Lung Institute (NHLBI). Other than the X-Ray R&D we have started on a large education project. An education campus around 17.000 m2 close area on a 32.000 m2 land, including several buildings, conference center & sports center. Hopefully it will be ready for the next education semester (2015-2016). In 2014 I have won a grant for "best start-up entrepreneurship" from TUBITAK, “Scientific And Technological Research Council Of Turkey”.

I struggled with OCD, depression and related anxiety and addiction issues for more than a decade before finding my way to recovery. I now focus on helping others find their own path to mental health and wellbeing. I co-founded the Everybody has a Brain online mental health community, which uses art, video, and personal stories to promote a proactive, preventative approach to maintaining and improving mental health. I also write books, create how-to videos that support people through the process of recovery, and facilitate mindfulness training workshops. I have worked as a design thinking workshop facilitator for over five years and much of the tools I develop for making complex health changes are adapted from the same tools that help organizations make complex changes. I’m passionate about shifting the prevailing view of mental health care from an illness-first approach, to a health-first approach that recognizes everybody has a brain, so everybody has varying levels of mental health that are affected by the decisions we make every day.

I am a 31 year old medical student and ex-high school teacher. I assisted in the development and founding of a high school in New Orleans, Louisiana called "Sci Academy", which has since grown into a successful charter school network that specializes in sending financially disadvantaged and underrepresented minority students to college. As a 2005 Teach for America corps member in New Orleans, my home was flooded so teaching was delayed. In the wake of Katrina I was asked to manage a disaster recovery center for FEMA. From that experience I learned about the importance of cultural competency in data acquisition, warehousing, and analysis. Other life experiences include travel to Europe, India, Asia, the Middle East, and South America. Much of this travel is centered around mountaineering, which is my favorite sport and hobby. My most significant peak thus far is probably Denali in Alaska. I am a dual citizen of the United States and Canada and I've lived in 7 states, but my 'home' is New Orleans and that will probably never change, wherever I end up living.

He is an active advisor to the newly established Undiagnosed Disease Network Coordinating Center at Harvard University, and he is a working group member for the President's large-cohort precision medicine initiative.Dr. Might is also the father of the first patient ever discovered with a novel ultra-rare disorder, N-glycanase (NGLY1) deficiency. Diagnosed via exome sequencing in 2012, NGLY1 deficiency is estimated to have an incidence of roughly 1 in 5 million live births.After being told it would take years or even decades to discover a second case, Dr. Might applied his expertise as a professor in computer science to find more cases through social media. It took two months to find the second case. In parallel, Dr. Might launched a collaboration with glycobiologist Dr. Hudson Freeze to understand and ultimately treat the disorder.Two and a half years and 25 confirmed cases later, what began with one child and one research lab has become a patient-driven precision medicine research network spanning the globe. The network is dedicated to understanding, treating and curing the disorder. Several potential treatments are now being tested and nearing clinical trials.Outside of medicine, Dr. Might runs a successful research lab in cybersecurity and scientific computing, conducting research for DARPA, the National Nuclear Security Administration and the National Science Foundation. Credited with breakthroughs in automated program analysis and machine understanding of language, in 2014, Dr. Might received a CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation and was named one of six Presidential Scholars at the University of Utah.Seth Mnookin chronicled the family's journey to a diagnosis, their use of social media to find patients and the establishment of the patient-driven research network in The New Yorker.

Medicine X ePatient Advisor
There are many ways to describe yourself as an ePatient: empowered, engaged, electronic, effective, efficient. I've always felt the only way to describe myself as an ePatient is through my personal ePatient mission statement:"As an ePatient, I will work tirelessly to motivate, educate, and inspire others in the cancer communities to achieve their best health. By sharing my personal experiences with others facing a cancer diagnosis, I will do my best to improve their treatment and survivorship experiences. I will reach out to all cancer community partners including health care providers, pharma companies, and medical institutions to ensure everyone experiencing a life touched by cancer will always have the best resources and support available to them. Cancer can't beat a community!"Using this mission statement as a guide for my work, I know that I can be an empowered, engaged health activist working to make meaningful, lasting changes in the cancer community. By drawing on my social media skills, engineering background, and in-depth understanding of the patient experience, I work to be an effective and enthusiastic ePatient.Medicine X provides me with an opportunity to learn from the absolute best in the ePatient health care space. As a 20-year, three-time cancer survivor, I've worked very hard over the past few years to advance the patient experience in the field of oncology care.Cancer has a way of interrupting dreams and changing the course of a survivor's life. As an undergraduate studying Mechanical Engineering, I quickly learned that great amounts of determination and grit would be required to achieve my goal of completing my degree and beating cancer. That experience reinforced how fortunate I was to have an incredible support system of family and friends helping me along the way. I try to apply every lesson I've learned in my work to help others through the difficult journey of cancer treatment. I'm constantly looking for new ways to engage and inspire the cancer community as a patient blogger. I feel I'm on a path to help improve health care in America, and it has led me directly to this program.I know I'll learn additional skills and make new contacts at Medicine X, which will help further my dream of improving the patient experience for everyone dealing with cancer. Having the opportunity to sit next to fellow ePatients and health care professionals who are all working toward similar goals is a chance I couldn’t pass up.I would like to learn how to help engage and empower the remaining patients that need additional help or motivation to take this journey. ePatients are special people. By having the opportunity to work with other ePatients working in other disease states like diabetes, mental health, I feel we can begin to build a set of best practices or guidelines to help others take the steps towards becoming an ePatient.
