Youth cancer is an important health issue and more needs to be done to try and encourage innovation in this area.
The Youth Mobile Health Competition aims to do just this. The competition calls entrants to submit their idea for a new and interesting mobile application/initiative that will help young people with cancer to better manage their conditions and/or make their lives easier.
It is an international competition and has been made possible through the partnership of cancer organisations from around the world, including EyeforPharma, CanTeen, Teenage Cancer Trust, Livestrong Young Adult Alliance and more.
The competition will be judged by a “Global Superpanel” made up of young people who have or have had cancer as well as representatives from the competition partners. There will also be a public voting element to the judging process.
The competition is open to anyone (from anywhere in the world). But if you’re a young person who has or has had cancer, your experiences put you at a bit of an advantage, so if you’ve got a great idea for a mobile application to make your life and the lives of other young people just like you easier, then this competition is for you.
The winning entrant (amongst other things) will be invited to work with the competition partners to turn the idea into reality. For more details on how to enter or just to find out more about the competition visit www.mobilehealthcomp.com
Prizes for the winner include:
- $5000 to donate to a cancer charity of your choice.
- An invitation to work with our partners to turn your idea into reality.
- An invitation to attend and speak at the eyeforpharma Oncology Conference in Philadelphia, USA on your idea. Including travel and accommodation.
