Sling Health

Solving medical problems. Training innovators. Improving healthcare. Sling Health™ is a network of medical bioengineering, design, and entrepreneurship incubators at top universities around the country, founded in 2013 at Washington University in St. Louis. Today, the network has grown to include Harvard, MIT, U. Pennsylvania, U. Michigan, Tulane and Louisiana State U, Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory. This growth is happening in collaboration with the American Medical Association and many industry and academic sponsors. We form teams of medical, engineering, and business students with mentorship from faculty, healthcare professionals, and local entrepreneurs in order to tackle unmet needs in healthcare delivery and clinical medicine. Sling Health provides technical, clinical, business, and legal mentorship, initial funding and facilities for prototypes, and legal support necessary for teams to thrive as budding companies. As a student-led, volunteer based platform, we run at unparalleled cost. In 2014-15, we spent to support 133 students, yielding 12 companies that have collectively raised over $2.5 million since May 2015. Join us as we enable students to solve real world clinical problems!
