WHO WE ARE

Sling Health Nola, a chapter of Sling Health^TM (formerly known as New Orleans Medical Innovators), is a medical engineering design incubator created by Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Medical students in order to solve real world clinical problems. Our group's objectives include:

• To make medical entrepreneurship attainable for students
• To develop a culture of innovation in New Orleans
• To teach engineering, medical, and business students the skills and processes needed to invent and implement new biomedical technologies
• To develop novel devices and software applications targeting unmet clinical needs

WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN

Sling Health Nola gives students access to:

• Professional advisors and support
• Financial resources available
• Medical problems and ideas hand-picked by NOLA clinicians
• Leadership and technical experience

During Problem Day, team leaders will select a clinical problem to tackle from a database created by New Orleans clinicians and create a student team of 4-6 members. Throughout the school year, we have design workshops and review sessions to help students bring their product to fruition. Successful teams will pitch their idea at the Sling Health National Demo Day in St. Louis.
