We invite you to meet the 2021 Lyfebulb-Loyola University Chicago Innovation Challenge Award winners – first place winner Katherine Grill, PhD, Co-founder and CEO at Neolth, and runners-up Yair Saperstein, MD, Founder and CEO at avoMD, and Mihir Shah, Founder and President at UE LifeSciences – as part of Lyfebulb’s virtual Fireside Chat series. Join us for a dynamic conversation, lightly moderated by Lyfebulb CEO Karin Hehenberger, MD, PhD, with Katherine, Yair, Mihir, and two members of our jury, Ram Raju, MD, former Senior Vice President and Chief Community Health Investment Officer at Northwell Health New York, and Abigail Silva, PhD, MPH, Assistant Professor at Loyola University Parkinson School of Health Sciences and Public Health.
Topics will span the importance of entrepreneurship and innovation in addressing both the immediate and long-term effects of emerging infectious diseases such as COVID-19, how to support and improve population and public health, health care delivery, and health equity during such crises and beyond, and the impact of health disparities on care access and health outcomes. The discussion will also explore today’s promising areas of research and innovations on the horizon to address these issues.
Please tune in if you are interested in learning about the role of entrepreneurship and innovation in solving a range of public health challenges and creating healthier communities and more equitable care systems.
