Stoel Rives’ Corporate Attorney Mary Hull Will Serve as Judge for OHSU ‘Post-Hack’ Pitch Competition

Stoel Rives is pleased to announce that corporate law partner Mary Hull will serve as a judge for Oregon Health & Science University’s “Invent-a-thon Post-Hack 2021,” April 21, 2021. Eight teams of entrepreneurs will virtually pitch their ideas for how to make health care better and vie for cash prizes, as well as follow-on support and additional prizes from several investor groups. Stoel Rives is a proud Gold Sponsor of the event.

“I am honored to be a judge for the competition and impressed by the quality of the finalists,” said Hull. “Over and above the prizes, the event is a great way for them to get in front of people who can help them bring their visions to fruition.”

Invent-a-thon will feature keynotes from three founders of successful digital health and medtech startups, the pitch competition, and a “virtual hallway” networking event for attendees while the judges deliberate. The eight finalists are:

• Aligned Therapeutics: Early Alzheimer’s detection with a blood test
• Comfort Socket: Dynamically fitting lower-limb prosthetics
• CommuNutri: Dietitian-led meal plans and food delivery for diabetics
• DiaCare: Bluetooth-connected insole to detect peripheral neuropathy
• Doc Talk: Easier communication with providers via Alexa voice notes
• Dolphin Health: Home-based monitoring of asthma
