The Grand Finale of 'Super Starter Inc. - The Healthcare Start-up Challenge' has been held at Fortis Memorial Research Institute (FMRI), Gurgaon. FMRI is the first healthcare delivery Institution to have pioneered the start-up challenge which will act as a launch pad for new, previously untested and unimplemented healthcare technology/idea.
Close to 50 entries were received from all over the world. After detailed scrutiny by an esteemed panel, 10 finalists were selected and the final presentation of ideas was held at Fortis Memorial Research Institute. The top three teams which made to the finale were Lyfas, Keyer and Team Shubham Mishra.
The thought behind this initiative was to provide a platform to young entrepreneurs where they could have seamless access to clinicians, patients, data, and infrastructure and hospital ecosystem. The winners will be given four months’ time to implement, test, redesign their idea at FMRI.
The Winning Team Shubham Mishra said, "Winning this challenge will give us the much-required launchpad. Our work is going to be a game changer, helping us bring about a massive change in the healthcare landscape. We are hoping that through our work we are able to develop point care diagnosis equipment which can detect a different kind of biological analytes within a minute, at an estimated cost of just 20-25 rupees. The #StartupInc Challenge platform gave us an opportunity to learn, interact with caregivers-patients, and get unsurpassed exposure and valuable feedback."
Dr. Ritu Garg, Zonal Director, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, said, "I would like to congratulate Team Shubham Mishra for winning the 1st ever 'Super Starter Inc. - The Healthcare Start-up Challenge'.
