STANFORD MEDICINE X | HEALTH CARE INNOVATION DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE MEDICINE implementation Since our first Stanford Medicine X conference in 2012, we have learned alongside our community. Our mission of improving the healthcare industry through our Everyone Included vision has not changed, yet we’re more eager. Part of our new initiative is to facilitate Stanford Medicine X’s world-leading programs in healthcare innovation at the intersection of emerging technology and medicine. The industrial affiliate program will allow the development of deeper partnerships between Stanford Medicine X and industry to bring scientific innovation forward to realworld solutions. Partners may customize their engagements to include sending visiting scholars, co-developing workshops, and other activities of interest. MEDICINE X | IDEO DESIGN CHALLENGE Stanford Medicine X joins forces with Palo Alto-based firm IDEO to offer ePatients the opportunity to collaborate with designers, researchers, technologists, and healthcare providers to spark new ideas for improving patient care. At the day-long event, participants are divided into teams; each includes an ePatient who has experience managing a chronic disease and who uses technology to help facilitate his or her own care. Using a problem statement based on the ePatients’ chronic illness and application, the teams work through the design thinking process to develop potential solutions. The goal of the workshop is to engage stakeholders in a design setting to solve a patientcentered health problem as a unified team, and to share their design and experience with attendees at Medicine X. It is meant to inspire collaboration and ignite creativity among diverse thinkers, both challenge participants and Medicine X audience members. STARTUP CLINIC Despite the increase in the number of startups in Digital Health and the increase in the amount and number of investments, too few startups make it in the healthcare Industry. Unlike other industries, healthcare in most developed countries is highly regulated and poses great challenges to start-ups. Stanford Medicine X empowers start-ups through our vision of Everyone Included and gives the mentorship necessary to overcome the challenges of the industry’s tremendous regulation and complexity. The main focus of Startup Clinic is the validation of start-ups using our Everyone Included model: Founders pitch to an audience consisting of all stakeholders--regulators, patients, providers, affiliated health professionals, executives, politicians, technologists, engineers, researchers, and venture capitalists. The outcome is a valuable written formal report that highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the presentation/product/ business model and suggestions for improvement. EI IDEA INCUBATOR Product and service development teams from industry can embed themselves onsite with a MedX team for a week, or up to a month, to test ideas via sustained interaction, discovery, and deep learning. Medicine X leadership will curate and assemble the consulting team to bring the needed skills and expertise, by leveraging our connections to the technology and academic communities. Any intellectual property generated remains with the industry sponsor. PATIENT SAFETY DESIGN CHALLENGE The Medicine X Patient Safety Design Challenge seeks to answer the question, “How might we redesign the medical decision making process for patients and providers?” Leveraging stakeholder engagement and shared decision making, the workshop applies design thinking principles to minimize risk and maximize patient comprehension in a re-imagined consent process. HEALTH CARE INNOVATION SUMMIT The Health Care Innovation Summit brings entrepreneurs and digital health thought leaders together to discover areas of highest need, learn key traits for investors, take products from idea to pilot in partnership with industry, and tap into the needs and expertise of ePatients. Speakers hail from NGOs, academia, industry, and provider organizations. Dennis Boyle, Partner and a founding member of internationally renowned design firm IDEO, speaks on the Medicine X main stage about the urgency of good design in health care. 38
