Subject: HIV Innovation Sprint coming to Birmingham
I want to let you know about an opportunity in HIV prevention here in Birmingham that I’m excited about. The HIV Innovation Sprint is taking place starting with a Discovery Day on Friday, Nov. 22 at Innovation Depot, and I’d love for you to consider joining.
The Sprint is being developed by the Digital Health Institute for Transformation. I’ve spoken with DHIT and can’t wait to get started with the Sprint they’ve designed. Following Discovery Day, a two-day Design Challenge takes place, and from there, teams will be selected to move forward with their innovations and make a presentation at a digital health summit next March.
The idea is to bring people with an interest in HIV prevention together to create innovative solutions to the challenges we face.
I know you’ll have some questions about how this will work. This website has more information and a way to register.
Please reach out if I can provide more background. I hope to see you at the Sprint!
