Healthcare Innovation and Start-ups by Biodesign (Classroom, Synchronous & Asynchronous E-Learning)

The overall aim of this module is to help participants understand and re-evaluate what it takes to propose and manage innovation in a healthcare start up. You will start out working in teams through the Stanford Biodesign process – a stepwise design thinking approach for identifying big problems and opportunities in healthcare. Participants of the module examine healthcare trends and challenges, learn techniques to explore healthcare areas, identify and understand needs. Problems are identified through participants’ exploration of healthcare areas including discussions with clinician stakeholders. Participants practice creativity and innovation in this course and learn ways to create startup value in consideration of the specific challenges and opportunities in healthcare. Hearing from seasoned technopreneurs, you will also learn in a “design studio” format with some hands-on practice. We will finish with understanding the framework to outline ways of translating the relevant portions of the Biodesign approach back into future work on startups or into large organization.
