STANFORD UNIVERSITY <strong>2016</strong><br />
innovation in palo alto<br />
Unique Setting: Stanford University’s location in the<br />
heart of Silicon Valley provides a truly unique setting<br />
and environment for a conference on emerging<br />
technology in health care. What distinguishes Medicine<br />
X from other conferences is the intimate venue of our<br />
conference facility in the Li Ka Shing Center for Learning<br />
and Knowledge.<br />
Our attendees highly rate the smaller scale and<br />
audience size of our conference and note that it<br />
greatly facilitates networking opportunities. Ninetyseven<br />
percent of survey responders marked that they<br />
were ‘likely’, ‘very likely’, or ‘extremely likely’ to attend<br />
Medicine X in the future.<br />
Among the attendees, 79 percent came from outside<br />
Stanford. 52 percent were from the health care sector<br />
or technology industry, 26 percent were from academia,<br />
10 percent were students, and seven percent were<br />
ePatients.<br />
Attendees reported that they came away with a better<br />
understanding of health care IT, the role of emerging<br />
technology in health care and patient-centric care after<br />
attending Medicine X.<br />
Diverse Attendees: Our 2015 conference attracted<br />
individuals from more than 30 countries spanning five<br />
continents. While our point-of-view remains uniquely<br />
Stanford and Silicon Valley, we generate global interest<br />
in our efforts.<br />
