2023 H2A HARVARD COHORT

We were blown away by the creativity, drive and desire for social impact of our inaugural group of teams that made up Cohort 2023. It included both undergraduates and public health students – as well as graduate students from disciplines as diverse as business, design, education, engineering, government, and law. The inaugural cohort included a team designing a virtual reality platform to deliver therapy shaped by biofeedback technology and artificial intelligence; a project to create affordable and highly efficient water filtration systems using discarded wood; a mobile platform to help patients in rural India connect with trusted clinicians; a privacy-protected app to create a supportive community for women struggling with infertility; and much more.
