The Health domain drives innovations to enhance global healthcare. It supports the development of technologies for better health outcomes, improved patient care, and solutions to address health inequities, aiming to enhance quality of life and healthcare accessibility worldwide.
The health sector faces ongoing challenges in providing accessible, affordable, and high-quality care to populations worldwide. xFoundry targets this domain because advancements in healthcare can dramatically improve quality of life and contribute to global development.
To foster innovations that can enhance healthcare delivery, improve disease prevention, or make medical treatments more effective and accessible.
By focusing on health-related challenges in its competitions, xFoundry aims to catalyze ventures that could revolutionize patient care, leverage technology for better health outcomes, or address global health inequities. This could include telemedicine platforms, AI-driven diagnostic tools, or innovative solutions for neglected tropical diseases. The objective is to launch ventures that can make a tangible impact on global health outcomes.
"The awareness of climate change means we, in every profession we are involved, are increasingly obligated to understand the climate risk and put whatever we are working on as part of the solution." - Kotchakorn Voraakhom, Urban landscape architect
Students working in xFoundry's Health domain will be at the cutting edge of medical innovation. They may engage in projects ranging from developing AI-powered diagnostic tools to creating wearable health monitoring devices or designing novel drug delivery systems.
xFoundry partners with healthcare providers, biotech companies, and medical research institutions to offer students exposure to real-world healthcare challenges. Students might find themselves working on projects like developing VR-based rehabilitation programs, creating predictive models for disease outbreaks, or designing low-cost medical devices for resource-limited settings.
