Feedback from previous attendees – Stanford Medicine X

Comments from previous conference attendees

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!

The conference was transformative, enlightening, hugely inspiring and more complete than I could have imagined.

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
It was absolutely thrilling to be there, I now want to work harder to make the world a better place. Very inspiring, especially learning directly from patients. Inspiration is mostly my take-home message.

George Asimenos, PhD Director of Science at DNAnexus
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.

Stanford Medicine X is a meeting to attend if you want to see the possible future of health and health care: patients, clinicians, designers, policy makers, and business leaders all learning together.

We don’t want to wait for traditional innovation, because traditional innovation, as we know it, is not good enough.

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.

Carly Medosch Program Analyst and Chronic Illness Advocate
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.
