Portable medicine - use a wearable or portable device to improve physical and mental well-being 5. Other innovative ideas We welcome both functional software solutions and an innovative mock-up of your solution. Our challenge is set to deepen the thinking of ‘What is next in digital medicine and health care delivery’.
