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.
