Health Tech Innovation Challenge
The Health Tech Innovation Challenge is an exciting, hands-on, multidisciplinary event that brings together students from the faculties of Health and Engineering together for 2 days to tackle pressing real-world health problems. Over the course of the challenge, students will collaborate to design and implement innovative solutions while engaging directly with real-world stakeholders.
Project stakeholders will introduce participants to authentic challenges and then students will work in teams to brainstorm, prototype, and refine their ideas, leveraging their diverse academic backgrounds and skill sets. At the end of the challenge, teams will present their solutions to a panel of judges, who will provide valuable feedback and select the top designs.
This event is open to students from the faculties of Engineering and Health, from any year of study.
The Health Hub Innovation Challenge is designed to be inclusive, educational, and engaging, fostering a collaborative learning environment where participants can develop valuable skills while making meaningful contributions to the healthcare field.
