HealthTech Innovation Challenge

Description

TACKLING THE WORLD'S BIGGEST HEALTH ISSUES

Following the inaugural HealthTech Innovation Challenge, we are once again bringing together startups, life sciences companies and healthcare organizations to tackle the world's biggest healthcare issues.
The HealthTech Innovation Challenge is part of Accenture’s broader HealthTech Innovation program—which will also include acceleration and venture opportunities, innovation labs and more. Through it we support innovative technologies and drive creative solutions to improve the way people access and manage healthcare.

THEMES

We want to solve some of the biggest issues in healthcare.

Help ME better manage my health:

How can consumers (patients, caregivers or families) get the right health information and services at the right time in their journeys? How can people’s lifestyle needs be better understood to inform optimal care and outcomes?

Help ME get better faster:

How can services be provided to support care plan adherence and improved outcomes? How can real world evidence and/or non-traditional data streams be used to improve patient outcomes?

Help ME have better and easier access to healthcare:

How can underserved or remote populations get access to better trained and skilled healthcare workers and the right treatment for improved health and quality of life?

Help keep MY information private and secure:

How can personal health information be kept both private and secure while enabling information sharing and improved experience?
