Knowledge Base HIP Challenge

Is HIP only about healthcare products?

No. Health innovation can include products, services, education, community initiatives, and many other forms of value creation.

While HIP uses health innovation as a primary focus area, innovation is not limited to physical healthcare products.

Participants may explore opportunities involving education, wellness, prevention, community engagement, technology, distribution, services, professional support, and other approaches that improve quality of life.

The first HIP pilot uses a health-related product development pathway as the main practical learning vehicle, but the broader Communities of Africa model can support many forms of innovation and opportunity creation.
