The annual Connected Patient Challenge is one way Boston Scientific engages with the startup community to drive meaningful innovation. The Challenge is a global contest designed to address unmet healthcare needs by encouraging companies and individuals to leverage digital health tools to optimize patient care and healthcare efficiency. New this year to the Boston Scientific Connected Patient Challenge VII, they are seeking solutions that fall under two different challenge areas of interest. Entrepreneurs and researchers working on specific solutions can apply:

1. Digital Health Challenge: Solutions that can generate meaningful insights and aid clinical decision making.

You can apply to either of the Connected Patient Challenge areas of interest through the application portal.

Winners of each challenge will receive $15,000 of in-kind services from Boston Scientific and a coveted place the M2D2 IMPACT accelerator. Additionally, the winner of the MeHI spotlight award will receive a $10,000 cash prize.
