The 2024 Johns Hopkins Healthcare Design Competition is now accepting applications! This competition is open to student-led teams from all countries and academic fields who have designed a health-related solution. It’s a fantastic opportunity to showcase your skills in healthcare design. The winners will be those who demonstrate a strong understanding of the problem, the people affected, and provide a practical real-world solution.
There are four competition tracks to choose from:

2. Global Health/Humanitarian Design
3. Healthcare Apps/Digital Health
4. Post-Surgical Infection Management
