Events for Faculty
Yale Healthcare Hackathon
The Yale CBIT Healthcare Hackathon brings together students, clinicians, entrepreneurs, and industry participants for a weekend to work on developing novel solutions or problems focused on the greatest needs in healthcare. Attendees from all over the world hear from renowned keynote speakers that ignite creativity and brainstorming amongst the diverse group of participants who then share pain point pitches aligned with the theme and tracks. Diverse teams form around these pain points and collaborate with expert mentors who bring forth different experiences, expertise, and backgrounds to the teams, throughout Saturday and early Sunday to guide and refine their specific problem or idea to present to a group of distinguished judges. The weekend concludes with presentations and the closing ceremony where awards are given to top teams on their innovative solutions.
Clinical Pitch Night
The 2 hour event welcomes faculty innovators and students looking to join a team to work on healthcare projects. The event begins with 5 minute presentations about the clinicians ideas and what support they need which may include engineering design, market research, and business analysis. This portion is then followed by a networking breakout which gives the opportunity to foster connections and enhance innovative collaboration.
