Sandoz encourages digital health innovation in second competition

Sandoz has announced a second competition inviting entrepreneurs and innovators in digital health to submit ideas that could complement or even disrupt established approaches to access to healthcare. The competition, known as the Sandoz Healthcare Access-Challenge (HACk) opened this week and entries close on November 30. Novartis’ generics and biosimilars division said universal access to health is still the largest unmet medical need. Despite some success, access varies hugely across geographies and communities, and the competition seeks to identify and understand the needs of different communities.
