Entries are due by June 24, 2021. Entrepreneurs, clinicians, engineers, designers, and other innovators are invited to participate. The challenge team also plans to partner with international and Detroit-based organizations to actively recruit women and minority applicants. Twenty finalists will be announced in July 2021. That list will be narrowed in late summer to five, who will then participate in a live pitch competition.
“Providing pathways for innovative entrepreneurs, engineers, designers or others to present their original ideas is critical to ensuring healthcare models keep pace with changing patient and health industry needs,” said Prasad Lokam, CEO of Miracle Software Systems. “Being a tech savvy company, we encourage the pioneering spirit of those who have a desire to make healthcare more equitable.”
