Innovate modern solutions to salient problems in healthcare
Husky Health Innovation Challenge
The Husky Health Innovation Challenge (HHIC) is ViTAL’s flagship event, a case competition for undergraduates at the intersection of healthcare, tech, and business. HHIC was founded in 2019 as the first healthcare focused case competition for undergraduates in the Greater Boston Area. HHIC brings together corporate sponsors, academics, and teams of students from Northeastern and across the Boston area to address a salient issue in healthcare. Since its inception, HHIC has been hosted three times to bring fresh perspectives to a critical problem in healthcare.
