Why Now?
As we've seen with our first 2 Texas Healthcare Challenges in 2019, these events are a fantastic way to engage the community and develop some brilliant solutions for some of the biggest pain points in the healthcare and life sciences industries. With the help of the US Small Business Administration, we are bringing WISH to North TX as a means to foster innovation and empower future female leaders.
In 2018, we saw a 2012 MIT healthcare hackathon graduate, PillPack, get purchased by Amazon for $1 Billion.
What is the "Texas Healthcare Challenge"?
TXHCC is a series of healthcare hackathons designed to bring together a diverse group of people with various backgrounds and professions to come up with big solutions to big problems. This event employs a creative method that allows teams to create and assess actionable business models within a 2-day span.
The scale of this type of event for healthcare innovation is new to our region and there's no one better than Health Wildcatters to make it happen and to draw the biggest and best crowd!
