As part of this, we are offering a 3 hour workshop for interested individuals and intended applicants on Saturday 25  March.

Exponential Kitchen : The Future of Healthcare in Asia is an ideation workshop centered on the challenge of turning technologies into impact, especially in the domain of complex social systems like healthcare, where the popularly-understood consumer technology approach of 'build a product and sell it' may not suffice. The workshop is designed around a role-playing exercise combining different technologies, stakeholders, organizational models, and adoption strategies, etc. to simulate the journey from technology to model to adoption to impact.

Participant Experience
The workshop will be a participative hands-on experience, and will take about three hours. You do not need a professional background or existing ideas in healthcare, just an interest and passion to make a difference. The initial part of the workshop will provide some contextual information about the current state of healthcare in Asia, and some emerging exponential technologies, so all participants will have some shared background.
