What It Is
Students pitch an app, device concept, or platform idea that addresses a real gap in care, access, or health operations. Judges look at feasibility, impact, and a basic business case — not a finished product.
MediLink Innovation Challenge
A pitch competition for a health-tech product or digital-health concept — an app, a device concept, or a platform idea. Individual or teams of up to 3. The entry point for tech-minded members, and a good fit right after Track 2.
Who Can Participate
Open to high school students in grades 9–12 who are active members of a MediLink chapter. Individual or teams of up to 3.
What to Expect
A pitch-deck and live presentation format that advances Regional → State → National. Exact round length and materials are set each year by the state chapter board and shared through chapter leaders.
Compete Through Your Chapter
Participation is through a MediLink chapter at your high school. Ask your chapter leader for this year’s Innovation Challenge timeline.
