The Arizona State University College of Nursing and Health Innovation is hosting a national healthcare innovation competition, "Rise to the Challenge: Healthcare Innovation 2010," encouraging the use of Health 2.0 and Internet social networks to improve healthcare.
The competition is open to teams of 2-5 graduate and undergraduate students for an entry fee of $50. Teams will submit concept papers (5-8 pages) in response to specific challenge questions. The papers will be evaluated online by a panel of independent, expert judges representing healthcare, academic and business entities.
"The Challenge seeks participation from health-related programs at universities across the U.S.," said Linda Mottle, director of the ASU Center for Healthcare Innovation & Clinical Trials. "A unique aspect of this initiative is that the strategic solutions generated by the student teams will generally be open to any innovator as publicly available intellectual property, rather than the sole intellectual property of the sponsors."
Deadline for team registration is March 22. Team concept papers are due March 31. The winning team will be announced May 3 and receive an award of $5,000.
