This week, Trailhead had the pleasure of attending the Health Tech Challenge, put on by the Boise State Venture College and Health Tech Idaho! This reverse pitch competition started at Boise Entrepreneur Week, where teams of students were given a prompt to solve in a few-week sprint. Top three pitches were OneHealth, focusing on medication adherence for diabetes patients; Vantage, a solution to prevent and identify pressure injuries; and Beyond Beauty Brushes, which uses 3D printing to create custom grips, helping individuals with spinal cord injuries tackle everyday tasks. Congrats and thank you to the teams from Boise State University, Brigham Young University - Idaho, Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine, and University of Idaho who all entered this competition!
