Do you have a disruptive solution in nutrition assessment?
The Elevator Pitch Contest hosted by Sight and Life is a competition amongst innovators to identify and support projects that have a high potential to be implemented and produce a meaningful impact in nutrition assessment. The 2nd edition of the Elevator Pitch Contest seeks disruptive ideas that will change the current way nutrition is measured. Whether a cutting-edge product, service, technology, or application the innovation needs to advance and improve the existing approaches to nutrition assessment.
Why Nutrition Assessment?
Nutritional deficiencies are major public health concerns in many low- and middle-income countries, but accurate and actionable information on their status in populations is often lacking due to high costs and logistical challenges associated with assessing nutritional status. Accurate, user-friendly, and low-cost analytical tools are needed to allow large-scale population surveys on nutritional status. We are striving to improve the assessment and evaluation of a persons nutritional status.
Prizes Awarded
Finalist will win a trip (round trip flight and accommodations) to Boston to participate in the American Society for Nutrition’s ‘Nutrition 2018’ and pitch their idea to a panel of experts and potential investors. Winners will receive a cash award of up to $2,000 USD.
