Web App for Surgical, Anesthetic Scheduling Wins Kuzneski Cup

ChangeOR took home the grand prize for the fifth annual Kuzneski Innovation Cup, hosted by the University of Pittsburgh’s Innovation Institute.

The project is a multi-platform web application that allows for the efficient delivery of real-time surgical and anesthetic scheduling information. The research is being led by Evan Lebovitz, an assistant professor in the University of Pittsburgh’s Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, and Mark E. Hudson, UPMC Richard J. Kuwik Endowed Professor in the same department.

Second place was awarded to AI Smiles, an additive-manufactured denture that dramatically reduces cost, appointments and waste in dental settings. Third prize was awarded to NanoNares, a platform technology for pharmaceutical companies that develop respiratory drugs which experience high failure rates in clinical trials.
