Best Understanding of an Unmet Need

$500 prize Stanford Biodesign is focused on educating and empowering health technology innovators to improve lives everywhere. Our need-driven approach to innovation emphasizes the importance of deeply understanding the problem and who you’re trying to solve it for BEFORE you begin inventing to ensure you develop technologies that delight your users and truly have a meaningful impact. For this reason, we will be sponsoring a $500 award for the finalist team that demonstrates the “Best Understanding of an Unmet Need.” The winner will be chosen based on how effectively you address the following questions: · How well does your team understand the problem you’re trying to address, the population you’re trying to solve it for, and what improved outcome is most important to achieve? · How effective was your team in using what you learned about the need to guide the development of your solution? Is there are strong linkage between the solution and what you learned about the need through your research?
