Happy Thanksgiving. We are grateful for the Biodesign community and everyone who is working to advance health outcomes and equity through innovation education, translation and policy.

Stanford Biodesign held a working session to review progress against our strategic goals, discuss ongoing improvement opportunities, & align around plans for the year. We devoted time to a team-building activity led by @teambuildingroi that involved a bike-building challenge!

Graduate students from the #Innovation course recently presented the top three #healthtech concepts they generated through brainstorming. @JaneneFuerch, Vic McCray, and @jameswallmd served as panelists for the presentations and provided feedback on the concepts and next steps.

Sophomore College debuts! Needs Finding in #Healthcare is a 3-week residential program for students interested in technology #innovation to improve healthcare. Here students practice observing before visiting @StanfordHealth clinics to identify compelling unmet needs in person.

It's a wrap! The 2021-22 Innovation Fellows completed an action-packed first week that included meetings with faculty and staff, a campus landmarks scavenger hunt requiring feats of strength, public singing, and more, and dinner at the home of fellowship co-director @dazagury.

“Hearing that Josh was interested in the director position was like finding out Steph Curry is eligible to play on your college basketball team. We're delighted to welcome him back to Stanford Biodesign.” @PaulYockMD @joshatnea @exploramed @JoshAtCoravin med.stanford.edu/news/all-ne…
