Innovation and open data Jack Andraka Gordon E. Moore Award Recipient 2012 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (USA)	Patient advocate Stephen Damiani President Mission Massimo Foundation	Ministerial Opening Address The Hon. David Davis MLC The Minister for Health and Ageing State Government of Victoria
If a 15 year old, who didn't even know what a pancreas was, could create a new way to detect cancer - just imagine what you can do!	Medicine can be transformed by the determination of ordinary people.
Bio >> Jack Andraka is a Maryland high school student who at age 15 created a novel paper sensor that detects pancreatic, ovarian, and lung cancer in 5 minutes for as little as 3 cents. He conducted his research at Johns Hopkins University and is the winner of the Gordon E. Moore award at Intel International Science and Engineering Fair and the Smithsonian American Ingenuity Award and was Mrs. Obama's guest at the State of the Union Address. He was named a Champion of Change by President Obama for his work to break down scientific journal paywalls. He has spoken at TED Long Beach, over 16 TEDx events including the House of Parliament, is the youngest speaker at the Royal Society of Medicine and has been featured on 60 Minutes, World News Tonight with Diane Sawyer, NPR Marketplace, Popular Science, BBC, and Al Jazeera as well as in award winning documentaries including "You Don't know Jack" by Morgan Spurlock. Jack is currently working with a team of teens (Gen Z) on the Qualcomm Foundation Tricorder X Prize and speaks about open access, STEM education and universal Internet availability. He is also on the national junior wildwater kayaking team, has won awards at multiple national and international math competitions.	Bio >> The Damiani family's story has been described as a breathtaking example of how medicine can be transformed by the determination of ordinary people. Four years ago, Stephen and Sally Damiani's baby son Massimo succumbed to a mystery disease. In the space of a few weeks, the toddler lost the ability to eat and crawl. The prognosis was bleak and the cause mystifying. Stephen Damiani, who has no college level medical training just a background in risk management, teamed up with a young geneticist to map the family's genomes in an attempt to discover the cause of his son's illness. In the process, their seemingly impossible quest for answers made a breakthrough that astonished the international medical community and has implications for us all. Norman Swan \| Health Report - ABC Radio National.	Bio >> David Davis is a Member for Southern Metropolitan Region.

Bio >> Regina Holliday is an activist, artist, speaker and author. You might see her at a health conference painting the content she hears from the patient view. She is part the movement known as participatory medicine. This movement believe that the patient is a partner with their provider and both should work together as a team. Regina is a mother and a widow; she speaks about the benefits of HIT and timely data access for patients due to her family loss. In 2009, she painted a series of murals depicting the need for clarity and transparency in medical records. This advocacy mission was inspired by her late husband Frederick Allen Holliday II and his struggle to get appropriate care during 11 weeks of continuous hospitalisation at 5 facilities. Regina began an advocacy movement called "The Walking Gallery." The Gallery consists of medical providers and advocates who wear patient story paintings on the backs of business suits. This "walking wall" of 200 individuals are attending medical conferences where often there isn't a patient speaker on the dais or in the audience. Regina published a book with the help of the Health Informatics Society of Australia (HISA) entitled: "The Walking Wall: 73 Cents to the Walking Gallery."
