"Tactical Meetings are focused on the operational work of the Circle. Their purpose is to triage issues that have come up during the week and remove obstacles so that the work can move forward. Each circle conducts tactical meetings; they occur roughly weekly and are scheduled by the circle's Secretary."

"Medicine X is Stanford University's premier health care innovation program focusing on the intersection of emerging technologies and medicine. Our initiative is a catalyst for new ideas, and explores how we can work together to advance the practice of medicine, implement new approaches to healthcare such as precision medicine, and empower all stakeholders to be active participants in discussions about the future of health care. Under the direction of Dr. Larry Chu, Associate Professor of Anesthesia at Stanford School of Medicine, and guided by the Everyone Included™ framework for co-creation and leadership, Medicine X is a project of the Stanford AIM Lab and a growing international community."

he UC San Diego Design Lab works on major societal issues, such as large-scale education, automation, healthcare, visualization of complex phenomena and data, social interactions, citizen science, and the ethical issues that are of ever-increasing importance.

"Powered by Science. Driven by Passion. The UC San Diego Health sports medicine experts stay on the leading-edge of advances in diagnosis and treatment. With over 20 years of experience caring for Olympic, professional, and NCAA athletes, our expertise makes us the top choice for athletes of all levels."

"Do you wonder how your diet, exercises, medicine usage, and other habits affect your lifestyle? Ask questions that help scientists understand the human gut!"

"The Center is actively conducting numerous integrative health projects, including those examining effects of meditation, tai chi, acupuncture, guided imagery, journaling, and Ayurveda in heart failure, myocardial infarction, hypertension, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and pain patients."

In 2014, UC San Diego Health Sciences created The Center for Healthy Aging, which now serves as an umbrella organization for all aging-related programs at UC San Diego and expands upon the work of the Stein Institute for Research on Aging. Its focus extends beyond medical research to address the major challenges facing our society as it prepares to accommodate a rapidly expanding demographic of older adults-in terms of technology, finances, housing, transportation and urban planning.

UC San Diego School of Medicine has long been known as a place where discoveries are made. Today, we are known as a place where discoveries are delivered. UC San Diego School of Medicine, established in 1968, is the region's only medical school. As a top-tier academic medical center, our role is to improve health through innovative research, education and patient care.

Rob Knight PHD, Embriette Hyde PHD, Sandrine Miller Montgomery PharmD PHD The Knight Lab uses and develops state-of-the-art computational and experimental techniques to ask fundamental questions about the evolution of the composition of biomolecules, genomes, and communities in different ecosystems, including the complex microbial ecosystems of the human body. We subscribe to an open-access scientific model, providing free, open-source software tools and making all protocols and data publicly available in order to increase general interest in and understanding of microbial ecology, and to further public involvement in scientific endeavors more generally.

"Our mission is to improve public health through prevention research, education, and clinical care." The department's clinical care and community-based initiatives aim to transform health care in San Diego through the practice of family medicine, preventive medicine, sports medicine, integrative medicine, and research that is practice-based. We have a robust portfolio of innovative clinical and public health focused research projects that address contemporary public health challenges through tools from biostatistics/bioinformatics, behavioral medicine, epidemiology, policy, and dissemination and implementation science. We have established Centers of Excellence in cardiovascular epidemiology, health behavior and equity, integrative health, tobacco control, wireless and population health, and women's health. Innovative, interdisciplinary partnerships are ongoing with Qualcomm Institute/Calit2, Moores Cancer Center, the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, Center for Microbiome Innovation, and many other departments.

Advanced Radiology MSK MRI - Christine Chung MD Christine Chung, MD, is a world renowned musculoskeletal (MSK) radiologist, professor of radiology, clinical translational researcher, and the director of the UC San Diego's MSK Imaging Research Group.

"Center for Health Design, Director: Eliah Aronoff-Spencer The Center for Health Design's mission is to foster human-technology teamwork in healthcare by taking a people-centered approach to health's greatest challenges. We work with global stakeholders, from village innovators, community volunteers and patient advocates to researchers, clinicians, government and industry. Together we aim to solve the "wicked" health problems that require not just singular scientific advances but innovation in multidisciplinary and distributed teamwork."

"The UC San Diego Center for Microbiome Innovation leverages the university's strengths in clinical medicine, bioengineering, computer science, the biological and physical sciences, data sciences and more to coordinate and accelerate microbiome research. We also develop methods for manipulating microbiomes for the benefit of human and environmental health."

Neural Integration - Todd Coleman PHD, Armen Gharibans PHD

Jurgen P. Schulze "Dr. Schulze's research focus is on making interactive 3D visualization systems easier to use. This includes both the visual display of the data, and input paradigms. Dr. Schulze uses high-end clustered graphics systems, such as virtual reality CAVEs to immerse the user in the data, and he uses 3D tracked input devices and more recently smart phones and tablets to interact with the virtual reality system. Dr. Schulze is the director of the Immersive Visualization Laboratory (IVL) at UC San Diego's Qualcomm Institute, the San Diego division of Calit2. In the CSE Department, Dr. Schulze teaches CSE 167 (Introduction to Computer Graphics) and CSE 165 (3D User Interfaces) and runs independent study projects in his laboratory at the Qualcomm Institute."
