Texas Health Catalyst Roundup & Rodeo

Event Registration

Join Dell Medical School’s Office of Innovation and Entrepreneurship for a Texas-sized innovation event where teams from across UT will showcase their entrepreneurial projects alongside key players in the local life sciences community. Enjoy BBQ, learn about evolving projects that seek unique biomedical solutions to health challenges, and network with innovators within Austin’s life science entrepreneurial ecosystem.

This fall, Dell Med’s Texas Health Catalyst collaborated with the Cockrell School of Engineering, College of Pharmacy, College of Natural Sciences and Discovery to Impact to put out a call for a Robotics, Automation and Autonomous Care Challenge to address critical gaps in health care delivery by leveraging robotic, autonomous and remote technologies to support clinical teams, extend care beyond hospital walls and empower patients.

Finalists present their projects that answer the challenge, and Texas Health Catalyst program alumni give updates on their entrepreneurial journeys.
