Current healthcare reform efforts underscore the importance of innovation to reduce cost while improving quality and safety. Development of mobile health technologies, devices for medical homes, PHRs, etc., requires leaders who can think and act like entrepreneurs. Dr. Locke and the faculty of HST.921 will discuss all aspects of the course: the mix of lectures by world leaders, skills-based tutorial sessions and faculty-mentored work on industry-sponsored projects. Student teams will participate in an experiential workshop collaborating in an impromptu design of a device. A debriefing and prize will be awarded to the winning team. Lunch will be provided.
