University of Washington student teams pitched interdisciplinary healthcare innovations at the Hollomon Health Innovation Challenge; CPRight, a real‑time CPR feedback patch, won the $15,000 grand prize and $38,500 in total awards were distributed. The Buerk Center’s competition highlighted student projects spanning medical devices, AI diagnostics and clinical workflow tools. The event underscores growing campus capacity to move research prototypes toward commercialization and investor interest. Administrators say these programs accelerate translational research, attract industry partners and offer career pathways that retain graduate and undergraduate talent on and near campus.
