Calling all Sacramento entrepreneurs! Startup Weekend is returning to Sacramento April 29 – May 1.
Want to impact health, medical devices, healthcare IT, wearables, biotech, fitness, mobile health, biomedical research & technology, pharma, patient experience and anything health-related? Startup Weekend Sacramento: Health Edition is your next opportunity to launch a company in just 54 hours!
This empowering event offers a fun, intense, risk-free way to get your startup off the ground; connect with other passionate and skilled individuals; and perhaps even find a co-founder or two to transform your ideas into reality.
What’s special about this event?
This event will focus on Health/Healthcare because they present significant challenges in our society, they have great business potentials, and because the Sacramento region is recognized as a hub for health and healthcare innovation and medical technology.
Our goal is to bring together the healthcare community, designers, developers, entrepreneurs, doctors, nurses, engineers, med techs, patients, etc. to facilitate the formation of new ideas. We all face challenges like rising costs and transparency or finding ways to make better personal health decisions. We wish to bring in new technologies and ideas that have the potential to improve the healthcare system and positively impact health in general.
We aim to engage public and private companies and organizations that are involved in the healthcare system, as well as inventors of technologies, software developers, designers and students with interests in Healthcare, eHealth, Mobile Health, Health Technology, Digital Health, or anything related to health.
Come ready to hack any of these verticals:
- Nutrition
- Wearables (biometrics, fitness, etc.)
- Fitness
- Healthcare IT (ex. electronic medical records, telemedicine portals, electronic scheduling, etc.)
- Medical Devices
- Healthcare data/ B.I. innovations
- Pharma/Life Sciences
- Payer/Insurer technology
- Consumer Health Apps
- …or any other health-related vertical!
Who should participate?
We welcome anyone and everyone who has a passion for health, and anything related to healthcare (patient experience, quality of life, health related IT, data management and analysis, fitness, wearables, digital health, mHealth, biomedical research and technology, pharma, etc.) and that anyone with an idea (nurses, medical and dental techs and assistants, speech and physical therapists, patients not just doctors, engineers and students) are encouraged to participate.
