Basis upon Which Winner Will Be 

Selected: The winning entries will be 

selected based on the following criteria: 

• Significance of the problem 

addressed—Does the entry address an 

important problem or a critical barrier to 

progress in clinical care or research? 

• Impact on potential users and 

clinical care—How likely is it that the 

entry will exert a sustained, powerful 

influence on the problem and medical 

field addressed? 

• Innovative design (creativity and 

originality of concept)—Does the entry 

utilize novel theoretical concepts, 

approaches or methodologies, or 

instrumentation? 

• Working prototype that implements 

the design concept and produces 

targeted results—Has evidence been 

provided (in the form of results, graphs, 

photographs, films, etc.) that a working 

prototype has been achieved?
