Project examples

Prompt: Our company provides a new App that gives access to the newest research and innovation in the health care. By investing in this App, hospitals can foster growth among healthcare workers and contribute to a stronger system. Write a sales pitch to introduce our App to potential hospitals and clinics (end-users). 

Sample pitch: What if you could provide your healthcare staff with real-time access to the latest medical research, clinical guidelines, and innovative treatments through a single, easy-to-navigate app? Your team of medical professionals could continuously improve their expertise, deliver superior patient care, and adapt quickly to new healthcare challenges. For example, a doctor could instantly look up the latest protocol for managing chronic diseases, ensuring the best possible care for patients at the point of need. And that's not all--our app also offers collaboration tools, allowing your staff to engage with global experts and contribute to ground-breaking research, keeping your hospital at the forefront of healthcare innovation.
