DESCRIPTION:The IEEE EMBS Student Branch Chapter SBC31061F\, in association
  with the Department of Biomedical Engineering\, Karunya Institute of Tech
 nology and Sciences\, is organizing “Healthcare Shark Tank – Bio-Pitch
 ” as part of IEEE Week 2026 on 15 October 2026\, from 10:00 AM to 12:30 
 PM.\n\nThis event is designed to provide students with a platform to ident
 ify real-world healthcare and biomedical challenges and transform them int
 o innovative\, technically feasible engineering solutions. Inspired by the
  Shark Tank format\, participants will pitch their ideas to an expert pane
 l and respond to technical and product-oriented questions. The event will 
 focus on medical necessity\, engineering feasibility\, innovation\, techni
 cal approach\, validation\, and potential for real-world product developme
 nt.\n\nParticipants can present ideas ranging from early-stage concepts an
 d designs to simulations and working prototypes. The event will cover area
 s including medical devices and biomedical instrumentation\, point-of-care
  diagnostics\, rehabilitation and assistive technology\, AI and digital he
 alth\, wearable healthcare\, and emergency and preventive healthcare.\n\nP
 articipants will gain valuable exposure to industry-oriented problem solvi
 ng\, technical pitching\, product development\, and expert feedback\, help
 ing them understand how a healthcare idea can progress towards a practical
  and scalable solution.\n\nDate: 15 October 2026\nTime: 10:00 AM – 12:30
