Through the challenge, which is part of Accenture’s HealthTech Innovation program, the consulting company asks startups to design saleable IT solutions that address healthcare access, transparency or security. Last year’s challenge attracted nearly 500 participants.
“Accenture works as a bridge maker that connects fresh ideas from startups with a broad spectrum of stakeholders to help accelerate ideas and drive rapid, low-cost solutions to the industry’s toughest challenges,” said Brian Kalis, managing director of digital health and innovation services at Accenture.
Accenture will invite selected startups to present their pitches to a panel of judges at the StartUp Health Festival in San Francisco Jan. 8, 2018.
The application window closes Sept. 1. To learn more about the challenge, click here.
