From Curiosity to Creation: Transforming Ideas into Prototypes
Foundation: Understanding the Crisis
Dive deep into the cardiovascular health landscape through data analysis and expert case studies. Students explore why heart failure rates are surging globally, examining demographic patterns, lifestyle factors, and healthcare system gaps. Interactive discussions reveal how different populations experience heart disease differently. Teams begin mapping the complex ecosystem of stakeholders—from patients and families to doctors and policymakers—building foundational knowledge for innovative thinking.
Investigation: Discovering Innovation Opportunities
Analyze breakthrough examples from digital cardiology and preventive health companies. Students investigate successful products like remote monitoring systems and behavior-change apps, understanding their innovation models and impact stories. Through structured user journey mapping, teams identify unmet needs in patient experiences. Collaborative workshops help participants recognize where technology, design, and healthcare intersect to create meaningful solutions for real people.
Development: Building the Concept
Transform insights into actionable prototype concepts using proven product strategy tools. Teams brainstorm monitoring systems, care navigation apps, or behavior-change solutions through guided innovation sprints. Working with templates and frameworks, students refine their ideas, define target users, and outline their innovation approach. All development happens through discussion, sketching, and collaborative thinking—no coding required, just strategic product thinking.
Presentation: Pitching for Change
Craft compelling concept presentations that tell impactful stories about preventive health innovation. Teams develop professional pitch decks showcasing their user insights, product vision, and potential impact. Students practice storytelling techniques used by successful healthcare entrepreneurs, learning to communicate complex ideas clearly. Final presentations demonstrate how young innovators can contribute meaningful solutions to global health challenges.
