This incubator brings together student teams from various backgrounds to address medical issues and improve healthcare. Teams are made up of health-focused students, such as medical, engineering, law, and business students, to bring their expertise to the problems facing healthcare today. Our four objectives for what students will attain as a part of Sling Health at UM are as follows:

1. To learn about medical entrepreneurship in a multidisciplinary context, with engineering, medical business, and legal perspectives, while gaining team leadership and technical experience.
2. To join a fast-growing national network that has produced many prototypes, patents, and startups.
3. To work with other bright students and faculty on a problem of interest with the supporting resources.
4. Develop novel devices and software applications targeting unmet clinical needs.
