The Triangle Health Innovation Challenge (THInC) brings together engineers, clinicians, designers, business people, students and others to tackle and build innovative solutions for the biggest challenges in health and healthcare. Organized by the Duke School of Medicine Innovation and Entrepreneurship Activity Group, and the Carolina Health Entrepreneurship Initiative, THInC brings together the ac
ademic, industry, pharmaceutical, startup and student communities to collaborate on problems of immense importance. At THInC, you’ll join a team that’s tackling a specific “pain point” in health. Over the next 48 hours, you’ll work together to construct technological solutions to address your team’s problem, and in the process, help raise the standard of healthcare. You’ll hear from thought leaders, work with clinical, technical and business mentors, and stay well fed on local fare and copious coffee. On Sunday, each team will pitch their solutions to our panel of judges, and a grand prize winner will be selected! Is THInC for me? Whether you’re a master clinician, a expert engineer, a top-notch designer, a business mastermind, a student trying to become one of those, or just someone passionate about health, THInC will give you the opportunity to step outside of your usual silo and work in a collaborative, interdisciplinary team to bring about real change in health. Every THInCer has a unique skill set and background to contribute, and anyone who wants to help make a difference is invited to attend.
