ZS Prize Advance Innovation In Health And Healthcare Using Data Analytics

ZS PRIZE, an award presented by ZS, has been designed to recognize, celebrate and advance innovation in health and healthcare using data, analytics, and disruptive technology.

In its inaugural year, ZS PRIZE will focus on shaping the future of Indian healthcare. This year it is seeking innovative healthcare solutions that will be large scale, easily accessible, and affordable for all. Designed by ZS, a global professional services firm with over 35 years of experience in healthcare and life sciences, ZS PRIZE will enable young innovators to create healthcare solutions that have the potential to change the future.

The winning team(s) will create ingenious solutions that will ultimately be the prize for millions of citizens who are in need of an evolved, accessible, and affordable healthcare system today.

India is a country of over a billion people across rural, semi-urban, and urban landscapes. There are several gaps in how the population receives primary and secondary care across a gamut of diseases.

While organizations are doing their part by bringing in innovative healthcare solutions, there is still great potential in the untapped minds of the younger generation. ZS PRIZE will thus become the catalyst that brings the thoughts under one roof and unlock these ideas to create a better future.

ZS PRIZE will provide an opportunity to create an innovative, tech-enabled, novel healthcare solution. These solutions will help young India actively contribute and bring a change to the Indian healthcare landscape.
