HealthUnBound is an organization whose mission is to help "foster a medical entrepreneurship community focused on providing opportunities and resources to promote and facilitate health innovation" and while it has many members within the UVA community, it is ultimately its own separate and independent organization. Thus, this is a great opportunity to for you to either utilize University connections and resources to help develop applicable, real-life experiences or to just go and see some really cool new VR innovations and technologies!
