MedX has transformed "patient-centered" from a buzzword into a way of thinking and collaborating.

Roni Zeiger, MD Co-founder and CEO, Smartpatients
The finely orchestrated Medicine X program amazed me. The team was poised, accessible, and proactive. Dr. Chu is a perfectionist who surrounds himself with other perfectionists.

MedX has stolen my heart. The feeling of physically being in the same space with others who are passionate and inspiring is truly awesome. Awestruck.

This conference has immediately inspired a change in career trajectory and lit a fire within me to learn how I can build and design patient-centered health care solutions.

Lots of new ideas, contacts, access...I feel so motivated to become a better communicator and advocate and researcher.

Caroline Polak Scowcroft Tropical North Queensland TAFE - Nursing
Best food at a conference. Ever.

Margaret Polaneczky, MD Associate Professor, Weill Cornell Medical College
This was more than a conference. It was a convocation of folks who have diverse but common interests in advancing health care as a humanistic, inclusive, technology-infused, egalitarian process wherein the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Patricia Bach, RN, PsyD President, Psychologists in Long Term Care
Medicine X has changed how I view myself and healthcare forever!

I won't just take information, ideas and contacts away with me–we are sharing them all online! I expect the new ideas and contacts fostered here will continue to grow and be nurtured long after Medicine X.

Louise Schaper, PhD CEO, Health Informatics Society of Australia
From the outside, #MedX can seem like a happy place where everyone agrees on the betterment of health care–but it thrives most with difficult topics and people who care enough to challenge the status quo.

Nikki Estañol ePatient
By immersing myself in the Medicine X culture and vision of how design, research, and entrepreneurship can be integrated into technology, I was inspired to build 11health.

Attending Medicine X brings you into an active community of people who are driven in ways that attendees of most conferences are not.

Medicine X is a collection of the most visionary, passionate people from all corners of health care.

There is no other conference that let's you get so close, and so personal to the end-users of your technology.

The Medicine X conference has a strong sub-theme of design and patient-centered focus. It's my absolute favorite and most impactful medical and health conference.

Li Ka Shing Learning and Knowledge Center, Stanford University

At Medicine X 2017 we will meet the innovators who are disrupting health care throughout the globe. We will see the emerging technologies of today and learn how they will impact the health care we deliver and receive tomorrow.

We will explore the drivers of change through organizational leadership and creative collaboration outside of health care’s traditional silos.

We will be inspired by moonshot thinking and learn how to grow pockets of excellence and innovation to large-scale change. We will experience empathy and compassion. We will gain an understanding of the problems that matter most in health care.

Be ready to use what you learn at Medicine X to create a shared vision of collaborative and participatory medicine of tomorrow.

Everyone Included™ is a framework for health care innovation, implementation and transformation based on principles of mutual respect and inclusivity. It is the culmination of six years of co-creation with a diverse group of health care stakeholders at Stanford Medicine X that has resulted in a series of design and leadership principles intended to drive collaborative health care innovation efforts.

For one week in September, Northern California becomes home to the world’s premier gathering of patients, providers, researchers, designers and technologists who are leading disruptive innovation in health care. A series of world-class programs, workshops and events begin on Monday and culminate on Friday with the start of Stanford Medicine X – an Everyone Included™ event and the most-discussed academic medical conference in the world.
