About ASU IMPACT Biodesign Final Need Pitches
Presenters: Students in ASU's IMPACT Biodesign program, a master's program in medical technology innovation run by Arizona State University with Mayo Clinic Arizona.
When: Wednesday, December 9, 3:30–5:30 PM, ahead of the 5:30 Investors and Friends Social
Program description: IMPACT Biodesign trains engineers, scientists, clinicians, and business-minded innovators to build medical technology the way the best medtech companies do: by starting with the clinical need, not the product. The program follows the Stanford Biodesign process (Identify, Invent, Implement) and is affiliated with Stanford's Mussallem Center for Biodesign. This fall, students spent six weeks embedded at Mayo Clinic Arizona across the transplant care continuum, working alongside more than 50 clinicians in clinics, hospital units, and procedural areas. They documented hundreds of unmet needs, then scoped, screened, filtered, and validated them with clinicians and stakeholders. This is the culmination of that work.WHAT
The final presentations: Each team will pitch the one clinical need it will carry into the spring Invent phase, where the solutions get designed and prototyped. Pitches cover the problem, who it affects, why it matters clinically and financially, what exists today and where it falls short, and the evidence behind it. Teams will pitch what they observed, who validated it, and how they de-risked it before committing to the Xcellerant experts for feedback.
Important note: These are need pitches, not product or fundraising pitches. Teams will present problems and evidence, not solutions, so there is no ask or deal on the table. The needs are early-stage and may become future intellectual property, so we ask that audience members treat what they hear as confidential and not record or share presentation content.
