Stanford Medicine X-Health Care and Emerging Technologies

描述(由申请者提供)：斯坦福医学X是一个致力于创新和应用新兴技术来改善医学和医疗保健的会议。创新的一个核心方面是重新设计整个慢性病患者研究和护理系统，这是本次会议使命的核心。我们目前的体系可能代表着一个颠倒的金字塔，在那里，知识和创新有望从僵化的等级制度的顶端涌现出来，拥有高度专业化的学者和实践者 我们的假设是，从真正的专家--患者及其照顾者--那里获得知识是有意义的。从最高层，并最终向下渗透到患者身上。因此，我们相信，学术会议可以有一种新的方法，将患者放在讨论的中心，并将所有医疗保健利益相关者-患者、医疗保健专业人员、技术专家和研究人员-团结在一起，从患者中心的角度帮助解决医疗保健问题。没有其他学术会议专门从以患者为中心的角度来探索医疗保健和新兴技术的交叉。该提案寻求通过AHRQ R13赠款机制提供资金，以支持2012年、2013年和2014年的会议。这项提案中概述的会议的唯一PI是Larry Chu，医学博士，硕士，斯坦福大学麻醉信息学和媒体(AIM)实验室负责人，麻醉学副教授，斯坦福成功医学2.0峰会和第四次世界大会的组织主席。斯坦福医学X将于每年9月在斯坦福校园的李嘉诚学习中心举行为期三天的会议。Medicine X的目标是：1.从以患者为中心的角度加深对创新技术如何具有改善患者护理和减轻疾病负担的潜力的理解，包括使患者能够参与自己护理的工具。2.提供一个论坛，集中于联合保健领域的利益攸关方，争取机会在创新、跨学科的研究和/或技术解决方案方面建立网络并进行合作。3.提供与新兴技术及其在临床医学中的应用相关的主要领域的教育。4.将患者呼声和以患者为中心的设计融入新兴技术的使用中，以改善医疗保健。5.确定对患者最有意义的可测量结果，并使研究人员更接近于了解如何将以患者为中心的设计和结果纳入他们的研究。会议将是新兴技术和医学领域的研究人员展示和发表他们的工作并与医疗保健提供者、患者、技术人员和院士的不同受众建立网络的主要场所之一。会议记录将发表在官方开放获取会议期刊上：《可视化实验杂志》(JoVE)和《公共科学图书馆》(PLoS One)。X医学中心位于斯坦福医学院，让与会者可以接触到众多专家，以及数量无与伦比的硅谷技术专家和医疗初创企业。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Stanford Medicine X is a conference dedicated to innovation and the application of emerging technology to improve medicine and health care. One central aspect of innovation at the core of the mission of our conference is to re-engineer the entire system of research and care of patients with chronic disease. Where our current system might represent an upside-down pyramid where knowledge and innovation is expected to spring up from the top of a rigid hierarchy, with highly specialized academics and practitioners at the top, and eventually trickle down to patients, our hypothesis is that it makes sense for knowledge to derive from the real experts: patients and their caregivers. Therefore, we believe that there can be a new approach to an academic conference that places the patient at the center of discussion and that will unite all healthcare stakeholders- patients, healthcare professionals, technologists, and researchers-together to help solve health care issues from a patient centered perspective. There is no other academic conference dedicated to exploring the intersection of healthcare and emerging technologies specifically from a patient-centered perspective. This proposal seeks funding through the AHRQ R13 grant mechanism to support the conference meetings in 2012, 2013, and 2014. The sole PI for the conference outlined in this proposal is Larry Chu, MD, MS, head of the Anesthesia Informatics and Media (AIM) Lab at Stanford, Associate Professor of Anesthesia, and Organizing Chair for the successful Medicine 2.0 Summit and 4th World Congress at Stanford. Stanford Medicine X will convene for three days annually in September at the Li Ka Shing Center for Learning on the Stanford campus. The objectives of the Medicine X are: 1. To advance understanding of how innovative technologies have the potential to improve patient care and ease the burden of disease from a patient-centered perspective, including tools to empower patients to be involved in their own care. 2. To provide a forum concentrated on uniting stakeholders in health care for opportunities to network and collaborate in innovative, interdisciplinary research and/or technology solutions. 3. To provide education in major areas relevant to emerging technology and their application to clinical medicine. 4. To integrate the patient voice and patient-centered design into the use of emerging technologies to improve health care. 5. To identify those measureable outcomes that are most meaningful to patients and to bring researchers closer to understanding how to incorporate patient-centered design and outcomes into their research. The meeting will be one of the major venues for researchers in the realm of emerging technology and medicine to present and publish their work and to network with a diverse audience of health care providers, patients, technologists, and academicians. Conference proceedings will be published in the official open access conference journals: Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE) and Public Library of Science (PLoS ONE). The location of Medicine X at the Stanford School of Medicine allows attendees the access to a breadth of experts and an unmatched number of technologists and health start-ups based in the Silicon Valley.
