Fall Semester, we are running the second year of a class to teach the process
of creating new ventures in healthcare. The class will be an
interdisciplinary mix of engineers, scientists, business students, and medical
students.</p><div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><b>What</b>:
15.S07: Healthcare Ventures: a scientific approach to starting healthcare and
medical ventures </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><b>When</b>:
Thursdays 5:30 - 8pm (meets in part with Energy Ventures: 15.366)</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><b>Who</b>:
Anyone passionate about health and medicine (engineers, scientists, business

do it</b>:</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt">The
goal of this class is to take ideas from Design Thinking and from the Lean
Startup movement and combine them into a principled approach to starting
companies in healthcare. This approach
leverages ideas of experimental design and hypothesis testing in order
to accelerate the pace for evaluating and developing ideas and for positioning
the idea and the plan to establish a new venture. To do this we have recruited a group of very
experienced faculty who, together with their network, will provide extensive
mentoring through this process. In
short, this course will provide a supportive, near real-world experience to help
you make your mark in the BioMedical arena - or at the very least, provide you
with a durable educational experience
that will benefit you long beyond your time at MIT.</p><div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt">This
class is perfect for anyone with a new technology they want to turn into a company,
or for anyone with a healthcare challenge in search of the perfect product, or
just someone with the passion and energy to learn how to change healthcare.</p><div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt">The
class will be led by Professor Martha Gray the J.W. Kieckhefer Professor of
Health Sciences and Technology and Zen Chu, Senior Lecturer at Sloan, and
involves a variety of other faculty from the medical, engineering, and business
communities</p><div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt">We
