Healthcare Innovation Program (HIP)

The Healthcare Innovation Program is a project-based lecture where master students from computer science, management and students from medicine collaborate to bridge the gap between clinical needs and technical innovation. In this intensive 4-month program during the summer semester, teams identify unmet clinical needs and translate them into digital prototypes.

Conducted by TUM & TUM Venture Labs, the course provides a high-impact environment to develop digital healthcare and AI solutions and encourage entrepreneurship. The course will be supplemented by a guest lecture by Paul Schmiedmayer, Assistant Director of Digital Health at the Stanford Mussallem Center for Biodesign.

What you can expect from the lecture:

• Work in joint teams with students from Medicine, Computer Science, and Management to ensure solutions are clinically relevant, technically robust, and economically viable.
• Apply a need-driven innovation and digital prototyping framework directly guided by experts from TUM, TUM Venture Labs, and Stanford Biodesign.
• Gain mentorship from TUM Venture Labs and clinical partners, for evidence-based digital healthcare development and validation.

Projects are evaluated during a final pitch session. The winning team is awarded a one-week academical trip to the Silicon Valley. Visit the University of Stanford and get exclusive access to the world’s leading innovation ecosystem and opportunities to further refine your project.

Apply your expertise to lead the next wave of digital health transformation.
