DIHI announces 2017 Innovation Jam

Duke Institute for Health Innovation (DIHI), along with other sponsors from Duke University Main Campus, Duke Health, and PDC, is organizing the third Innovation Jam. This will be a shark tank-style event on October 3, 2017, where Duke innovators, inventors and entrepreneurs will have an opportunity to pitch their ideas to a team of internal “investors.” All faculty, staff, trainees and students are encouraged to apply. 

This year, we are soliciting ideas that are closer to translation into market and/or commercialization.

Suggested themes for idea submissions include, but are not limited to:

  1. Innovative devices
  2. Novel use of analytics
  3. Digital health/mHealth

We anticipate selecting six finalists from our total pool of applicants to present their health innovations—each innovator will have 5 minutes to engage the investors and evaluators, followed by 8 minutes of Q&A.

A poster for the event is below and attached. More details, including link to the application, can be found on our website, http://www.dihi.org/InnovationJam.
