The X PRIZE Foundation has long been thinking about the idea of an X PRIZE in the area of health care. After all, the system is confusing, expensive, and doesn’t cover everyone efficiently or equally. This is an area in desperate need of the kind of breakthroughs that the X PRIZEs can provide.

If you’re an expert in this area, and want to have a voice in the development of a prize, please send us a message, including your credentials and an overview of any ideas that you might have.
But industry-players aren’t the only ones we want to hear from. Nobody knows where the healthcare system is sick more than the people who have to use it day in and day out. So we want to hear from you, the general public. What’s broken? Where are you having trouble? What doesn’t make sense? How can healthcare be made easier? Staying healthy should be the easiest thing in the world. We want any prize that we create to find a solution that benefits the users of the healthcare system. Leave us your feedback here or on the Healthcare X PRIZE page.
I’ll be posting relevant comments as new blog posts in an effort to keep the conversation going, because we really do want to hear from everyone out there reading this blog.
Stay Healthy!

Are you thinking of US healthcare, or globally?
Though the competition rules have not been determined yet, the competition will be focused on the US health care system, simply because each country's health care is so different. We need a focus area for innovations. However, certainly the goal would be that any innovation that occurs could be spread to the rest of the world.
Thank you for your question!
Stay Healthy.
