Our Vision A world where healthcare is a leading industry in technology
innovation
Our Mission Expedite healthcare innovation through experience and network
We believe there are two problems:
1. The “Network Chasm”It separates innovators and healthcare providers forlack of knowing eachothers’ full capabilities.
2. The “Complexity Gap”The challenges we face in healthcare are not as obviousas most people think.
Why are we passionate about healthcare innovation?
The Pitt Challenge offers students the opportunity to tackle these issues.
Through our 24-hour hackathon, students are creating the next innovations in healthcare and technology.

Past Participant Highlight Pitt Challenge 2019
“From having my fi rst experiences working for specialty pharmacies, the problem of having pharmacists spend a lot of their time on the phone like a telemarketer is ripe for innovation and improvement. Our fi rst prototype involved ripping off the heads of pez dispensers and making a phone case jammed with altoids to demonstrate the idea.”
Then
“Now we have a functional product used in patient studies for HIV Prophylaxis. We also have a software platform that automates patient data collection and pharmacy workfl ows which we are commercializing today.”
