Johns Hopkins Healthcare Design Competition is organized to acknowledge unique projects in the field of healthcare. Students can choose one out of four tracks which include Designs of Solutions for Advanced Health Systems, Global Health/ Humanitarian Design, Healthcare Apps/ Digital Health, and Post-Surgical Infection Management. Participants have to submit Design Brief which will have executive summary of their design project. The winners of this online design contest will win cash prizes according to their positions.
Design Briefs of this international design competition will be evaluated on the basis of four elements. Applicants first have to briefly define the problem that they have identified, its healthcare background, and why does it need to be solved. They have to submit their suggested solution with the design rationale and how will it be helpful for all the healthcare stakeholders. Applicants have to explain their experimental results and images of design prototypes. In the end, they have to mention the possible pathway to implement the project that will create a helpful solution.
In this design competition for international students, submitted projects can propose products like medical devices, surgical tools, diagnostic devices, drug delivery devices, health IT solutions, or global health innovations. Students can get feedback from their mentors and experts to refine the final product before giving online presentation. After submitting the design project online, winners will have to pitch their product to online audience.
