• Be a Challenger

    Healthcare has big challenges. And technology might not solve them all. But we believe in progress one app at a time. Have a technical problem that needs working out? An app you wish existed? Data that’s sitting on the shelves getting dusty that could be made more useful? You will be amazed by what's possible. Submit a challenge!

    You can be an individual, company, non-profit, government agency, academic center, community - you just need to explain the problem and a talented engineer or 3 together with some subject matter experts might just be able to help. You provide the inspiration! Read the FAQs here.
