Big Idea Patient Safety Challenge
1 winner

Applicants will be challenged to develop a fully formed idea for a technology-enabled solution to address one of the five major sources of harm along the continuum of care. Other complex, high-risk industries deploy available technologies, predictive analytics, and sophisticated detection systems to anticipate and prevent harm before it occurs. The future safety of patients requires an autonomous safety net, reducing the burden on a rapidly diminishing clinical frontline. This safety net must be conceived before it becomes a reality.
Problem categories: medication-related errors, medical complications with patient care, procedure/surgery-related errors, infections, and/or diagnostic errors.
