We know you are innovative in ways you might not have imagined yet. We don’t doubt that you have ideas for improving health care for all. The 2019 AHA Innovation Challenge is calling on you to develop big ideas, bold solutions and expanded alliances to disrupt community health and eliminate health inequities.
This year’s challenge is focused on finding new ways to use technology to address social determinants, such as food, housing, transportation and jobs, and connecting people with proper resources that meet community health needs. Ideas can range from mobile apps to artificial intelligence to data collection. The possibilities are limitless.
Top three proposals will earn $100,000 – $25,000 – $15,000 to help bring these winning concepts to life.
