It a brand new forum so not that many people in here yet, but we’ll be promoting the forum all through nest week’s REWIRED conference, and will be uploading content here such as slides and other materials from presentations.
If you have friends who you think would like to join in, then by all means share the link with them - they can sign up here https://forum.digitalhealthrewired.com/login - share far and wide with twitter and others
Also, if you are pitching in the Pitchfest then feel free to create a whole Topic about your pitch here
Hi - this is Jon Hoeksma, I’m the founder of Digital Health, organisers of the Digital Health Rewired show. The Pitchfest is probably my favorite part of the show, due to the sheer range of talented people, ideas and innovation it attracts. We had almost 100 entries this year and they really were amazing. The judges selected the last 16 and it was a pleasure to meet most of them at the Pitch and Polish practice session just over a week back.
We’ll share Pitchfest presentations on this forum and I hope that the people behind these great start-ups will want to take part in this new Rewired Network.
Hey Bruce – how’s the 3 minute pitch timing coming along? Not sure that you can really improve on 2.57 though some of your fellow pitchers might see that as a chance to squeeze in a few more slides… Jon
Hi everyone! I’m Andrea Downey, senior reporter at Digital Health. I’ve got the fab job of hosting the Pitchfest quarter finals on Wednesday - I’ll be the loud one with the microphone, you won’t be able to miss me! I’ve been with Digital Health for just over a year now, but I’ve been a journalist for 8 years, with just over 3 of those specialising in health. If you’ve got any questions on the day just pop over and say hello and I’ll do my absolute best to help you out. And if you fancy reading about what else is happening at Rewired you can check out our news site, which will feature a live blog of the event, at www.digitalhealth.net. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
