Innovation Challenge & Showcase
Asilomar Conference Grounds in Monterey, CA
Join us for an exhilarating glimpse into the future of healthcare at our upcoming poster presentation session, where you'll have the opportunity to showcase your digital health innovations and connect with influential healthcare partners and investors over two immersive days of networking and collaboration.
Catalyzing Cutting-edge Innovations, Designs and Technology in Healthcare
The future of healthcare depends on innovative technological solutions and new business models of care. From universal access to robotics, AI assisted patient care and remote monitoring, how we prevent, treat and manage healthcare will depend on our ability to incorporate AI/VR, NLP, wearables and devices. This Innovation Challenge is meant to engage innovators, entrepreneurs, students, non-profits, and philanthropists to look at health technology from this new perspective.

The CharmHealth Innovation Challenge was a tremendous opportunity to present the Atapir AVD-M monitoring system to a panel of experts in clinical informatics and medical devices. CharmHealth Innovation Challenge allowed us to present and get feedback from venture capitalists who had knowledge and experience in both medical device development and clinical informatics. It was a great opportunity to gain exposure and feedback from experts in our domain for our new platform for monitoring.
The CharmHealth Innovation Challenge proved to be an excellent event. It was my first chance to connect with the organizers as well as attendees actively involved in life science. The other presenters provided great insight into areas where I was not as familiar as I would have liked.

A wide gap exists in the digital healthcare investment space, whereby the validation of innovative ideas is often too far removed from the input of actual end users.

In the context of healthcare, this can mean a shortened time for a cure to a life-threatening disease or novel treatment for a chronic condition.
