SXSW: I spoke at Women Leading Changes in Digital Health at 2015 SXSW. Right after Tim O'Reilly's talk and before our talk, I led a 15 mins of Dance Workshop: Dance to build trust and human connections. Tim announced our workshop and joined us, and apparently he was a great dancer. :) Dance certainly was a great community bonding tool. We received many thanks for being such an inspiring panel. Many people shared feedback afterwards and they said the dance workshop was so much fun, and it was refreshing to hear about the humanistic side of tech instead of product pitches. We certainly create a little buzz and a little social media storm. :) Check out the compilation of the little twitter storm for our session:https://storify.com/HealthcareWen/women-leading-digital-health-at-sxsw Check out these fun photos for the dance workshop:https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tob6em4r0xcxmqi/AABCIYz3bOZxncwHhKeS6T6la?dl=0 Here was the detail of music and dance for the dance workshop on the google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eQgEDdgeid3G1tphWY8aX0gY9Xw3bMeBUcFU_lHCqu8/edit Health 2.0, one of the largest health tech innovation conference: Our presentation at Health 2.0 was a blast! https://storify.com/Dance4Healing/dance4healing-rocking-out-at-health-2-0 A live stream video by Health 2.0 staff Aline Noizet (click to play): https://www.periscope.tv/w/1zqKVVXgwEDKB Stanford Medicine X: We won the Stanford Medicine X Healthcare Design Award, and got around 200 people to dance at the Award Ceremony at Stanford d.School. =================================== ============================== Here are links to research papers: CANCER: Latest exciting announcement from American Cancer Society on their $750k funding on Exercise May Make Tumors Less Aggressive, More Likely to Respond to Treatment.
