Congratulations to the 18 successful clinician/student project teams for the 2021 Healthcare Innovation Summer Scholarships (HISS).
A joint initiative by MIME, Monash Partners Academic Health Science Centre and Monash Young MedTech Innovators (MYMI), the scheme connects Monash affiliated clinicians who seek a technological solution to frontline health problems with high-performing students from across Monash University motivated to develop new medical technologies.
Clinicians and students will work together for 12 weeks to evaluate concepts for new technologies and create innovative proof-of-concept prototypes.
We extend our congratulations to the successful project teams, and look forward to the creation of many new and different solutions to some of the healthcare industries biggest problems.
