It is no secret that there is a growing need for innovation and technology in the healthcare field. When healthcare professionals are the end users of clinical innovation, but not involved in the design process, the solutions are less effective. I created ClinHacks after noticing how difficult it is to collaborate in a way that includes designers, entrepreneurs, doctors, nurses, scientists and engineers.
