The Stanford Center on Longevity (SCL) has launched its 2020 Challenge, under the theme of Reducing the Inequity Gap: Designing for Affordability. As the rising level of inequity in societies around the world has become one of the key challenges of this century. While design and technology are increasingly being deployed to help individuals reach old age mentally sharp, physically fit, and financially secure; innovations far too often only reach people at the upper levels of socioeconomic status. And this is why designing for affordability since this challenge is all about innovating to significantly reduce the cost of helping people at all ages do the things that increase their odds of long and healthy life outcomes.
The Challenge will be informed by the SCL’s New Map of Life project, which has identified areas for improvement in the quest for helping people live healthy and productive 100-year lives.
Any design significantly reducing the cost of an existing solution that contributes to longer and healthier lives will be accepted for consideration. The following are a few examples of categories that could be targeted:
$17,000 in cash prizes will be awarded (1st place: $10,000 USD, 2nd place: $5,000 USD, 3rd place: $2,000 USD), and finalists will be awarded $1,000 USD to help with prototyping and finals preparation, and receive paid travel to Stanford, where they will present their designs to renowned industry, academic, and government leaders.
