Business Pitches
Healthcare Access Mobility Design Challenge teams
February 2016
Following a more than 6-month process, the 16 NCMM-funded Design Challenge teams are pitching their healthcare access mobility solutions. Each team has followed a 4-phase Design Thinking process -- pursuing the first two phases during the application process, and the latter two phases during the grant process. These February pitch sessions allow the teams to both celebrate their journeys and share their solutions that: are responsive to customers’ needs, can be financially viable, and have the partnerships and ability to be operationally feasible.
