Are you tired of panels and keynotes? Well, so are we! At SXSW 2020, we want to connect entertainment with education. After a successfull Healthtech Innovation Day at SXSW2019 where we inspired you in a traditional way, we decided to try out a bolder concept.

We will play HealthTech Jeopardy on stage at Berlin Saloon - an official SXSW 2020 venue !

How does it work? We will have five categories - just like the trend topics you usually get information on by keynote speakers and panelists - and 4 healthcare experts that battle to win the highest amount of money for answering some questions on healthcare trends across the world correctly. The trickier the question, the higher the amount - just like in old-fashioned Jeopardy you might have seen on TV.

------------------------------------------------

What topics are we going to cover?

We will explore the healthcare trends in Berlin, Barcelona, Paris, Antwerp, Stockholm and more - and of course Texas! Europe is a booming startup hub - and yes, we are Europeans. The opportunities are endless. One industry, however, that is experiencing a much-needed rejuvenation and disruption right now is Healthcare. Did you know:

• Germany’s new "Act to Improve Healthcare Provision through Digitalisation and Innovation (DVG)" has opened up new freedoms for healthcare innovators.
• Are you ready of the new EU-MDR's deadline in May? Do you actually know it?
• Have you ever looked into the groundbreaking healtchare innovation coming out of IMEC in Antwerp - yes, Belgium!
• Have you ever considered exploring the data-friendly healtchare ecosystem in sunny Barcelona?
• Learn how international healthcare startups can enter the European market.

Our Jeopardy categories will therefore be:

• Berlins Healthcare Scene: Berlin has a strong healthcare ecosystem and is a great health tech hub in Europe to start a company
• Tech rocks Health: Technologies are being used in healthcare to support patients, empower healthcare professionals (physicians,, nurses, etc) and improve processes
• Texas revealed: Texas is one of the key healthcare ecosystems in the US and a great place for foreign companies to enter the US
• DTx: Digital Therapeutics are apps or softwares that can complement or replace a drug or traditional medical treatment
• Money, money, money: Let's talk investment, reimbursement, resources, salaries, prices, etc

----------------------------------------------

For each topic we have won a "category host" that will give you some valuable insights before the game starts. Be prepared for 5 topic introductions, and yes, if you listen well, you might get some hints on the answers that might come up later in the game!

• Lina Behrens, Managing Director at Flying Health (Berlin, Germany)
• Nora Belcher, Executive Director at Texas e-Health Alliance (Austin, USA)
• Stay tuned for more category hosts!
