While this news is a little out of my normal realm of stuff that I talk about but having both friends and family that have had diabetes I wanted to pass along the announcement that Amy Tenderich sent me by email about DiabetesMine’s 2nd Design Challenge. The challenge is meant to foster innovation and create new tools for those that live with diabetes.
The contest is being co-hosted by the folks over at MedGadget along with the support of the design firm iDEO. The prizes being offered to the winners are a mix of
- Sponsors Cory and Justin Oringer generously offer $1,000 each in two entry categories: under age 18 and over age 18 (total prize money $2,000).
- Health and wellness consultants from world-renown design firm IDEO will host a two-hour workshop to help each winner refine their concept.
- Organizers of the “innovation incubator” Health 2.0 Conference have generously offered one free access ticket to their Fall conference in San Francisco, October 21-23rd, 2008, for the winner of the adult competition.
- MedGadget and DiabetesMine™ will promote the winners through articles and blogs, and possibly also feature some of the coolest finalists.
