HealthCamp – Incubator for Innovation
September 24, 2009
In Toronto last week, in addition to Medicine 2.0, I attended my first HealthCamp, sponsored by MyHealthInnovaton, aka, Innovation Cell. Using an unconference format, HealthCamp creates an environment for creative thinking with the attendees creating the agenda for the day. Great ideas were everrywhere – from pitches on new startups to ideas which are in their infancy, the approach is invigorating. HealthCamps have now been attended by over 1000 participants. I hope the movement will continue to spread. Maybe its time for one in Ohio.
Upcoming HealthCamp events.
