Husky Health Innovation Challenge is open to undergraduate students who attend school in the Greater Boston Area. We welcome students of all backgrounds and experience levels - just don’t forget to fill out our application. If you don’t fit this category but would still like to attend, reach out to us and consider coming as a speaker, sponsor, or volunteer!
See a list of eligible schools here.
This year’s case competition, including all workshops and Pitch Day, will be completely virtual.
Prizes have been increased to:
1st Place - $1500
2nd Place - $1000
3rd Place - $500
Yes. Thanks to our sponsors, this event is completely free to participants (and we’re so excited for all that we have in store)!
While attending our workshops is not required to compete, we highly encourage students to come. Our workshops and speaker series have been carefully designed to prepare students from all backgrounds to address this year’s case.
This year’s theme is digital health and public health, specifically in the realm of nutrition in older people.
Teams should be groups of 3-4 undergraduate students. If you don't have a team in mind, no worries -- we will play "matchmaker" and create teams with interdisciplinary backgrounds to tackle the case.
Come show off your talent and passion in healthcare, business, and technology for a chance to win cash prizes, swag, and exciting networking opportunities with corporate sponsors from around the Boston area!
If you are interested in sponsoring us in our mission, we would greatly appreciate your support! Read more about the different sponsorship packages here.
The application has closed for our HHIC 2021 competition. Register for our workshops or follow ViTAL's social media to get a reminder for our Pitch Day event and following healthcare entrepreneurship workshop!
