Challenge statement:
How can we design a scalable solution that makes barriers to eye care transparent to healthcare stakeholders at the point of care, enabling actionable ways to address them to improve access and patient outcomes?
Who should apply?
We are seeking entrepreneurs and innovators based in the United States who are developing technology-driven solutions that address health inequities that can be adopted for use in ophthalmology and other therapeutic areas in the future. Solutions can range from early-stage concepts to products already in market. We encourage applicants from underrepresented backgrounds and disciplines to apply.
