Within the activities of the Entrepreneurship and Medical Innovation Day at the Private University of Al-Andalus for Medical Sciences, the MEDPITCH competition was held, forming an interactive space that brought together medical engineering, innovation, entrepreneurship, and artificial intelligence.
The competition aimed to empower students to move from academic thinking to entrepreneurial thinking, and to motivate them to discover real challenges in the health sector and transform them into innovative and scalable medical project ideas.
The student teams underwent a complete practical experience, beginning with identifying health problems and understanding the needs of beneficiaries, passing through designing solutions and determining their added value, studying costs and distributing roles within work teams, and culminating in preparing professional entrepreneurial pitches and presenting them before the judging panel, while employing artificial intelligence tools in developing and refining ideas.
The coordination of the competition and the supervision of training the student teams were undertaken by an elite group of academics and experts, namely:
Competition Coordinator: Dr. Mohammad Daer – Faculty of Medical Engineering.
Trainers:
Dr. Ghaffar Salman – Faculty of Hospital Administration.
Eng. Alaa Daoud.
Eng. Kholoud Suwaikat.
Eng. Saleh Masoud.
Eng. Kholoud Sarhan.
We extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to the coordinator and the trainers for their scientific and professional efforts, and for the expertise, guidance, and accompaniment they provided to the student teams throughout the stages of developing their ideas. We also value our students’ participation, enthusiasm, and the spirit of initiative and teamwork they demonstrated.
MEDPITCH is not merely a competition for presenting ideas; it is an educational and entrepreneurial experience that affirms that a student of the medical faculties is capable of being a partner in creating medical technology, not merely a user of it.
From the classroom to the world of innovation, and from consuming technology to producing it... the journey of medical entrepreneurship begins.
