HH NYC – SKIN HEALTH DIGITAL COLLABORATORY

September 21, 2016 @ 6:30 pm - 10:30 pm

Hacking Health NYC is hosting a Kickoff Meetup for an exciting three-part series we’re co-organizing: the inaugural SHIELD SKIN HEALTH DIGITAL COLLABORATORY – LET’S CONNECT AND TRANSFORM SKIN HEALTH!
This Meetup is the first of three SHIELD digital collaboration events and will feature a talk and Q&A with Dr. Warren Winkelman from Nestlé Skin Health SHIELD (Skin Health Investigation, Education and Longevity Development). At this Meetup, Dr. Winkelman will introduce you to the basics of skin health, why it matters to all of us now more than ever, and what the innovation opportunities are for you in this emerging field.

The purpose of the Kickoff Meetup is to gather a diverse group of individuals from the technology, research, health, and business worlds and get you thinking about the potential for a new technology to transform the healthcare landscape by focusing on our largest organ: our skin. Following the Kickoff Meetup, you will be invited to the SHIELD Digital Design Collaboratory, where you will be able to connect in-person with those who are likely to benefit from innovation in skin health and other experts, form teams, and begin planning for the final SHIELD Hackathon event. At the Hackathon, to be held in early 2017, teams will develop and pitch their ideas to a panel of judges. The winning team will be optioned for a year of development support in partnership with Nestlé Skin Health SHIELD.

The SHIELD Skin Health Digital Collaboratory is sponsored by Nestlé Skin Health SHIELD and co-organized by SHIELD, Hacking Health, and the Global Coalition on Aging.
