SUMMARY:Health Hacks
DESCRIPTION:HealthHacks is a two-day hackathon combining creative hardware and software solutions to real-world healthcare problems through innovation\, creativity\, and interdisciplinary teamwork. \nThe inaugural HealthHacks will take place at Columbia University from April 8-9\, 2017 over a period of 24 hours and will start in Davis Auditorium at 8:00AM on April 8th. \nHealthHacks emerged from a quest in 2017 to integrate and scale emergent health technologies to critical needs within the ecosystems of health and wellness. A team of passionate students within BMES and HTA teamed up with IBM Watson and its partner STMicroelectronics to provide novel tools for hackable discovery. \nWe seek to engage the talents of the HealthHackers community. They are 100 designers\, students\, engineers\, healthcare professionals\, and business experts with diverse backgrounds committed to provide scalable solutions as interdisciplinary as the teams that devise them. \nThanks to the collaboration between IBM Watson and ST and their long-term efforts to provide high-end IoT solutions\, HealthHacks provides the community with a unique range of powerful tools\, from hardware to software\, to enable prototyping of wearable devices for medicine\, healthcare\, and biotechnology.

Disciplines as diverse as engineering\, economics\, astrophysics\, and history were represented throughout the day on data science challenges as varied as gang violence prevention\, measurements of urban pollution\, kidney disease prediction\, encrypted search\, and much more. \nSpeaking to a packed audience in Roone Arledge Auditorium\, Columbia Engineering Dean Mary C. Boyce underscored the Institute’s crucial role since its inception four years ago in pushing the innovation\, discussion\, and education of data science\, across multiple fields. “The Institute has really acted to catalyze data science across the University\,” she said\, stressing that the initiative has ignited faculty and student collaboration. “We’re also transforming the way we do research and the way we teach across campus\,” she added\, pointing to new programs in data science\, including the MS program\, a certificate program for professionals\, and several new courses in data science. [Rest of Story] \nIn his keynote address\, Sidewalk Labs CEO Dan Doctoroff gave a riveting talk about “the coming technological revolution in cities.” Doctoroff\, former CEO of Bloomberg L.P. and a former deputy mayor of New York City under Michael Bloomberg\, started Sidewalk Labs to bridge the gap between technology and cities. He said harnessing data science—computing power\, sensing\, the power of social networks—will have a revolutionary impact on people and our urban environment\, essentially developing the smartest of all cities that will lead humanity into the future.

SUMMARY:Innovation Grant Info Session: Sizing Markets & Projecting Budgets
DESCRIPTION:Love often blinds novice entrepreneurs.  They become enamored with their technology or business model almost to a fault.  There’s nothing wrong with that per se.  Passion is an important component in launching a startup.  However\, if founders ignore the financial model that accompanies the business model\, their lunch will be more of a sad fizzle. \nMichael Lopez will help you add financial viability to your startup story.  When you submit your innovation grant summary\, you’ll need to include those aspects that will be most relevant to potential investors – even if fundraising is a long way off. Michael will help you gain an understanding how to build a credible story through numbers. \nMicheal Lopez\, Partner at EisnerAmper\nAbout Michael\nMichael Lopez is a Partner at EisnerAmper and has more than 25 years of experience relating to a broad range of audit\, accounting\, tax\, and finance issues.
