  • Innovation prize of $250K awarded to company to develop MS app

    In order to fund development of pioneering innovation that could advance assistive tech for MS, Novartis awarded $250,000 to the 1st place winner and $50,000 to the runner up. Both projects look pretty cool. That app could be a game changer if done right! -D
