Welcome to the AMSA Digital Health Innovation Festival

The first of its kind, this exciting initiative is designed to support and showcase innovative digital health technologies developed by future physicians. We’re calling on students who have created real-world solutions—functional tools, applications, platforms, or products that expand access to quality healthcare through digital innovation. If you’ve turned bold ideas into tangible outcomes: this is your stage.

 

Pitch your innovation to leading healthcare, technology, and venture capital experts. Selected finalists go on to present in Washington, DC at AMSA’s National Convention to compete for the grand prize — while gaining national notoriety, exclusive networking opportunities and a pathway to funding.
