Hello team,
Good work. I think this is a great concept suggestion, and your description touches base on all four key principles (responsible, purposeful, inclusive, regenerative).
Here are some comments and ideas to think about discussing/adding to your final proposal:
- In order to provide the real-world problems, how would access this information? Have you considered for example building a knowledge sharing platform where you could collaborate and collect information from hospitals?
- Could you elaborate on the interactive process between the candidates and the health industry and how it would be applied in practise from inception to the end? (example: Have you considered agreeing with the stakeholders to offer a work placement to the winner to put in practise their idea?)
- Have you consider the costs of actually producing the winner idea of this competition? What would the motives and benefits be for the Mediplus, Medtronic and Medart Technology to bring this competition's winner idea to life? In what ways, such a device would make this a win-win situation, for both the patients and the health industry?
- The idea of the volunteer health workers is great and it shows that your idea of the medical device competition is not an one-time thing. It sounds like the volunteer healthcare ecosystem will be a continuation of the competition's research outcomes. However, have you checked if there is already a volunteer healthcare team similar to what you're suggesting? It will be best if you could propose to approach an existing one and help to improve their actions with the knowledge and equipment that will be the outcome of the competition (your main idea). It could make your proposal stronger at its regenerative principle.
