We may be in the dog days of summer but the deadline for the digital health startup competition at our second annual INVEST Twin Cities conference in Minneapolis on October 11 is rapidly approaching.
The Pitch Perfect contest will cast a spotlight on startups at an event that will include some of the most critical issues in digital health such as interoperability, convergence, bending the cost curve and commercialization. You can check out the full agenda here.
